Evidence from Mexico shows that job loss and employment instability are more important drivers of credit card default among new borrowers, suggesting that social protection may be more effective than contract regulation in promoting financial stability.

"In a large RCT on a credit card in Mexico, cutting rates and raising minimums barely reduced default. Job loss—more disruptive to cash flow—had far greater impact."

Time for some shameless self-promotion!
I have a new WP called "Partial Identification Under Iterated Strict Dominance (ISD)"
In it I propose an approach to set identification in games that is robust to multiple equilibria and non-equilibrium play.
