Djamshid ASSADI
What Is Social Collateral?
The guarantee is relying on direct recommendations of
group members, prior to lending; if one member defaults,
other group members have to pay for him/her.
The threat of the whole group not getting a loan was
enough to instigate people to pay or for others in the
group to pay for her.

A Story!!!You go to a restaurant and order a $30 filet mignon. When
your food arrives you take a bite and realize the restaurant
has defrauded and served you a $10 flank steak instead.
Do you take the owner to court?
Probably not, because time cost is not worth it even if
you win.
Certainly not, because if they do customers will stop
eating at their restaurants and tell all others about the
disappointing experience.
Knowing this, do restaurant owners perpetually
defraud?
Djamshid ASSADI
How Social Collateral Reduces the Moral Hazard?
Finding the appropriate
solutions
Availability to monitor and
solve problems
Trustworthiness for more
loans
Conscious monitoring of commitments
Better detecting the possibility of
failure
Supporting peers in case of financial difficulties
