LazyDay Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Eric is doing a great job updating us on general importance of Liar Loans and so I guess that the majority here do not need a formal proof of the magnitude of the problem. However, it might be of an interest that a very recent academic paper (Keys, Benjamin J., Mukherjee, Tanmoy K., Seru, Amit and Vig, Vikrant,Did Securitization Lead to Lax Screening? Evidence from Subprime Loans(April 2008). Available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1093137) estimates that securitization may have led to a 20% rise in delinquencies of "low documentation" loans in the US (even prior to credit crunch!!).
