Shed Light

This paper studies how receiving a bonus changes the consumers’ demand for auto loans and the risk of future delinquency. Unlike traditional consumer products, auto loans have a long-term impact on consumers’ financial state because of the monthly payment obligation. Using a large consumer panel data set of credit and employment information, the authors find that receiving a bonus increases auto loan demand by 21 percent. These loans, however, are associated with higher risk, as the delinquency rate increases by 18.5 −31.4 percent depending on different measures. In contrast, an increase in consumers’ base salary will increase the demand for auto loans but not the delinquency. By comparing consumers with bonuses with those without bonuses, the authors find that bonus payments lead to both demand expansion and demand shifting on auto loans. The empirical findings help shed light on how consumers make financial decisions and have important implications for financial institutions on when demand for auto loans and the associated risk arise.

Those who have tried to organize a different kind of conference know how difficult that can be. Many presenters can be programmed congenital lecturers. Once on a platform, they dim the lights, flash the first slide, and deliver a 40-minute lecture. That's not what we wanted in this conference. The goal was to teach pediatricians how to teach. Although this is something most practitioners have been doing, it is unlikely that they ever took courses in how to educate patients. That's a very important part of a practice. If this effort is successful, the reader will learn some of the tricks of the trade from the masters. Our presenters were selected not just because they are experts on their respective subjects, but also because they are effective teachers. In the following six papers, they teach us how to provide effective education for patients with common pediatric complaints.
