    We report data from a laboratory experiment studying the behavioral mechanisms which contribute to the increase in strategic defaults during an economic crisis. In our experiment, subjects can default on an outstanding loan, but moral constraints and social norm enforcement may provide incentives to repay. We exogenously vary the state of the economy: In the weak economy more borrowers are forced to default than in the strong. Our data reveal two main effects of an economic contraction: First, weak economic conditions seem to soften moral constraints as solvent debtors strategically default more often. Second, weak economic conditions undermine social norm enforcement. The decrease in norm enforcement, however, is not caused by a break-down of the repayment norm itself, but rather is a consequence of the additional informational uncertainty in weak economic conditions. In a weak economy peers are reluctant to sanction, because the risk of harming innocent debtors is higher.

    We report the results of a laboratory experiment which examines the impact of precontractualcommunication in person-to-person lending. We show that potential hiddenaction undermines the positive effect of communication on repayment behavior and creditprovision. When strategic defaults by borrowers are revealed to lenders, pre-contractualcommunication reduces strategic default and increases credit provision. When strategicdefaults are hidden behind a veil of uncertainty, we find a substantially weaker impact ofcommunication. Borrowers are more likely to renege on repayment promises when theycan hide opportunistic behavior from lenders. These findings have important implicationsfor the design of lending relationships and procedures: Pre-contractual communicationand post-contractual monitoring go hand in hand
