CONTENTS
DESCRIPTION
The book presents, inter alia, two models on credit product interlinkage, one model on interlinked credit-share tenancy contract, and three models on intraction between formal and informal credit markets. A new theory of interest rate determination in the informal credit market has also been provided, which can explain the prevalence of high interest rate in that market. The effects of price and credit subsidy policies on the productivity of farmer's land and alternative ways of formulating credit subsidy policy have been studied.
Finally, there is an empirical analysis of the flow of formal credit to farmers based on a survey of two selected villages in West Bengal, India.
