Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigates whether a particular aspect of borrowers' financial literacy ¿ their numerical ability ¿ may have played a role in the subprime mortgage collapse. The authors measure several aspects of financial literacy and cognitive ability in a survey of subprime mortgage borrowers who took out mortgages in 2006 or 2007 and match these measures to objective data on mortgage characteristics and repayment performance. The result: a large and statistically significant negative correlation between numerical ability and various measures of delinquency and default. Foreclosure starts are approximately 2/3 lower in the group with the highest measured level of numerical ability compared with the group with the lowest measured level. Illus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper incorporates house price risk and mortgages into a standard incomplete market (SIM) model. The model is calibrated to match U.S. data and accounts for non-targeted features of the data such as the distribution of down payments, the life-cycle profile of home ownership, and the mortgage default rate. The average coefficients that measure the agents' ability to self-insure against income shocks are similar to those of a SIM model without housing but housing increases the values of these coefficients for younger agents. The response of consumption to house price shocks is minimal. The introduction of minimum down payments or income garnishment benefits a majority of the population.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors develop an equilibrium valuation model that incorporates optimal default to show how mortgage yields and lender recovery rates on defaulted mortgages depend on initial loan-to-value (LTV) ratios. The analysis treats both the frictionless case and the case in which borrowers and lenders incur deadweight costs upon default. The model is calibrated using data on California mortgages. Given reasonable parameter values, the model does a surprisingly good job fitting the risk premium in the data for high LTV mortgages. Thus, from an ex ante perspective, the authors do not find strong evidence of systematic underpricing of default risk in the run-up to the housing market crisis. Charts and tables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exact cause of the massive defaults and foreclosures in the U.S. subprime mortgage market is still unclear. This paper investigates whether a particular aspect of borrowers' financial literacy - their numerical ability - may have played a role. We measure several aspects of financial literacy and cognitive ability in a survey of subprime mortgage borrowers who took out mortgages in 2006 or 2007 and match these measures to objective data on mortgage characteristics and repayment performance. We find a large and statistically significant negative correlation between numerical ability and various measures of delinquency and default. Foreclosure starts are approximately two-thirds lower in the group with the highest measured level of numerical ability compared with the group with the lowest measured level. The result is robust to controlling for a broad set of sociodemographic variables and not driven by other aspects of cognitive ability or the characteristics of the mortgage contracts. Our results raise the possibility that limitations in certain aspects of financial literacy played an important role in the subprime mortgage crisis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compares the ex ante observable risk characteristics and the default rates of securitized mortgage loans and mortgage loans retained by the original lender. Privately securitized loans tend to be riskier and to default at a faster rate than loans securitized with the GSEs and lender-retained loans. The differences in default rates across investor types are of secondary importance for explaining mortgage defaults compared to more conventional predictors, such as original loan-to-value ratios and the path for house prices. Privately securitized home mortgages have conditionally higher expected returns than retained loans, suggesting the presence of risk factors that are unobservable but nonetheless at least partially acknowledged by the market.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous research has shown that relative to White borrowers, Black and Hispanic borrowers taking out mortgages at the height of the early-2000s housing boom experienced significantly higher delinquency rates. In this paper we attempt to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms that gave rise to these racial differences in mortgage delinquency. Using a database of nearly 9 million mortgages originated between 2005 and 2009, we find that minority borrowers were significantly more likely to have mortgages with high-risk contract characteristics, such as prepayment penalties, variable interest rates, balloon structures, and negative amortization periods. Results from mortgage default models and a decomposition exercise show that the concentration of minority buyers in such loans explains a significant fraction of the difference in default rates between racial groups. The totality of our results suggest that exotic loan characteristics acted as mortgage default accelerants for many minority homeowners that experienced significant income and equity shocks during the Great Recession.
