NONPRICE RATIONING OF AGRICULTURAL CREDIT BY TWO TRADING BANKS

Anthony P. Ockwell and Robert L. Batterham

Australian Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1980, vol. 24, issue 3, 13

Abstract: The non price mechanism used by the trading banks to ration credit among farmers was studied using a survey designed along the lines of a factorial experiment. Of the farmer characteristics studied, managerial ability emerged as being most important in affecting the amount a farmer could borrow. Banking history and, to a lesser extent, security were also influential. However, the research indicated that there is great variability in the amounts that individual bank managers are prepared to lend.
