Beneath the rhetoric: clarifying the debate on mortgage lending discrimination

Stanley D. Longhofer and Stephen R. Peters

Economic Review, 1998, vol. 34, issue Q IV, 2-13

Abstract: The authors' simple model of the mortgage underwriting process provides a framework within which to define discrimination and various notions of the default rate. By providing those with differing views a common framework for discussing their positions, the model clarifies and reconciles some of the most controversial issues in the debate over mortgage discrimination. It also shows how this theoretical framework can help in the design of practical policy responses to this vexing social problem.
