THE PROBLEMS OF ADVERSE
SELECTION AND MORAL HAZARD
A company selling bonds to investors may know that its sales are declining rapidly, and it is
near bankruptcy, but the buyers of the bonds may lack this information.
Example
A key consideration for savers is the financial health of borrower.
Savers do not lend to borrowers who are are unlikely to pay them
back. unfortunately fo savers borrowers in poor finacial health have
the an incentive to gisguise this fact.,
A vital service of the financial system is the collection and
communication of information or facts about borrowers and
expectation of returns in financialassets.
Asymmetric Information - describes the situation in which one party to
as economic transaction has better information than does the other
party. in financial transactions, typically the borroers has more
informations than does the lender.
TWO PROBLEMS ARISING FROM ASYMMETRIC INFORMATION ARE:
Adverse Selection - this is the
problem investors experience
in distinguishing low-risk
borrowers from high-risk
borowwers before making an
investment.
Moral Hazard - this is the
problem investors experience
in verifying that borrowers are
using their funds as intended.
NATURE AND IMPACT OF TRANSACTION
AND INFORMATION COSTS

borrowers and to monetor how they use the funds acquired.

HOW CAN INTERMEDIARIES REDUCE MORAL HAZARD PROBLEMS
HOW FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES REDUCE TRANSACTIOS COSTS
Financial intermediaries take advantage of economies of scale, which refers to the
reduction in average cost that results from an increase in the volume of good or service
product.
Financial intermediaries can also take advantage of economies of scale inother ways.
Financial intermediaries also take advantage of technology to provide financial services
such as those that authomated teller machine networks provide.
Financial intermediaries also increasingly rely on suphisticated software to evaluate the
credit worthiness of loan applicants.
