1 The Distributive Impact of Reforms in Credit Enforcement: Evidence from Indian Debt Recovery Tribunals Stockholm School of Economics Dilip Mookherjee Boston University Sujata Visaria Boston University March 10, 2009
2 Motivation The usual argument: Weak enforcement of credit contracts restricts the functioning of credit markets Borrowers cannot credibly commit to repay loans lender risks rise cost of credit increases credit access decreases partial equilibrium argument
3 Motivation, contd. Our argument: strengthening credit enforcement has ambiguous effects: not always a Pareto improvement due to general equilibrium (GE) effect
4 This Paper PE effect: stronger enforcement every borrower is more creditworthy than before demand increases upward sloping supply of credit (or other input) GE effect: interest rate (or input price) increase
5 This Paper PE effect: stronger enforcement every borrower is more creditworthy than before demand increases upward sloping supply of credit (or other input) GE effect: interest rate (or input price) increase Borrower heterogeneity PE effect more important for large firms Possible redistribution: small (poorer) borrowers may become more credit-constrained, while large (wealthier) borrowers gain average effects may conceal these distributional changes
6 This Paper Model with PE and GE effect Evidence from firm-level panel data examine the effects of Indian debt recovery tribunals reform increasing enforcement leads to credit reallocation from small to large borrowers
7 Borrowers with heterogenous (collaterizable) fixed assets W Borrower invests in project at scale γ upfront investment costs γ I return of y f (γ), with borrower-specific shock y {y s, y f } probability of success (y = y s ) is e, given endogenous project scale γ Contract {γ, T s, T f }: T k repaid in state k {s, f }
8 Enforcement and default Default: lender can seize θ fraction of assets W Enforcement institution represented by θ, incorporating delays and/or uncertainties in the collection process; these are affected by judicial reforms such as DRT Reputational loss due to default d Entrepreneur will not default in state k iff payment = T k θ W + d = cost of default
9 Individual Demand with θ π W = 0 W > 0 Aggregated Demand and Supply with θ π Supply π 2 π 1 γ 2 γ 1 γ 1 γ 2 L d (θ, π), L s (π)
10 Results θ δ = θ 0 < ɛ < δ < θ δ = 0 W L W L γ H γ F 6 γ F γ γ H W W L W L W W L W L W A: No GE-effect: B: Weak GE effect C: Strong GE effect: γ F Figure: Impact of changing liability law with GE effects.
11 Description and data Specification Results Context for Empirical Work: 1993, national law to set up debt recovery tribunals (DRTs) across country DRT: specialized court which only processes debt cases, follows new streamlined procedure Suit can be filed by lenders in a DRT in a given state if claims exceed Rs 1 million
12 DRTs, continued Introduction Description and data Specification Results What happens in DRTs? Speed: Fast processing of cases Defendants given less time to respond Defendants not allowed to file counter-claims increased cost of appeals Power: DRTs allowed to make interim orders defendant cannot transfer or dispose assets DRTs allowed to obtain arrest warrants Effect: Visaria (2009): decreased time taken to process cases increased repayment on loans subject to DRT limit
13 Description and data Specification Results DRTs, continued DRTs set up in different states at different times between Timing of establishment of DRTs across states not related to state economic condition, prior cases pending in courts, or political variables (Visaria 2009)
14 Description and data Specification Results Exogenous introduction of DRTs (Visaria 2009) Dependent variable: Does a state have DRT in a specific year? Explanatory variables include: Judicial data Economic Variables Political Variables observations from for 23 states
15 Description and data Specification Results Exogenous introduction of DRTs (Visaria 2009) Judicial variable cases pending in the state High Court number of judges in the state High Court per capita Economic variables level and growth rate of state-level GDP Political variables nature of the dominant political party in the state government dominant part is ally of the party in power at national level

Notes: The dependent variable takes value 1 if state i had a functional DRT in year t, and 0 otherwise. Year dummies in all columns not reported. Observations correspond to 8 years of data ( ) for 23 states. Union territories are excluded. GDP growth rates are not available for In column (8), the group variable is DRT region. Standard errors in parentheses are clustered by DRT region. * significant at 10%; ** significant at 5%; *** significant at Psuedo R squared.
17 Description and data Specification Results Data: PROWESS accounting database of large and medium sized Indian firms headquarter location financial information

19 Description and data Specification Results Empirical specification OLS specification K K y ijt = α 0 + α 1 D jt + α 2k size ik + α 3k (D jt size ik ) k=2 k=2 +state j + year t + industry i + year t assetsize i + year t assetsize 2 i + ɛ ijt y ijt : credit, assets, profit, for firm i in state j in year t. D jt : value 1 in years when the firm s state has a DRT and 0 otherwise size ik : size class indicator: use 2 or 4 classes
20 Description and data Specification Results Empirical specification First DRT occurs in 1994, last one in 1999, we use for the regressions Potential endogeneity of asset size: we use only pre-drt asset size measures Use HQ location to determine which state-drt applies

28 Description and data Specification Results Continuous DRT variable DRT dummy variable we also consider continuous definition: percentage of filed cases in the DRT that had been disposed by that year. Idea The effective quality of DRT is relevant Similar results
29 Description and data Specification Results Potential other explanation What if DRT less effective for smaller firms? legal suit data as a proxy for effectiveness Data: Random sample of 49 debt recovery suits filed in Maharashtra by a large private bank cases filed in civil courts before establishment of DRT filed in DRT The evidence: DRT increases speed for settlement No adverse effect of DRT for smaller claim sizes
30 Description and data Specification Results Alternative explanations, cont. 1. Other channel for GE effect: labor market wage bill decreased; not consistent with increased wages 2. Incomplete contracts: Bankruptcy law provides insurance Preliminary evidence that interest rates increase (using other data); work in progress
31 Description and data Specification Results Conclusions project financing model of firms GE effect in the supply of funds (or other inputs) Changing credit enforcement may lead to redistribution of credit Possible that productive efficiency decreases
32 Description and data Specification Results Conclusions evidence for redistributive effects of Indian Debt Recovery Tribunal reform financial (i.e. credit) and real decisions (fixed assets, profits, wage bill) affected work in progress: better differentiate alternative channels consistent with redistributive effects
