Abstract

A substantial part of households and micro enterprises, particularly in developing countries including Indonesia, did not have access to formal financial institutions which then lead them to borrow money from illegal loan providers. Using an experimental study, we tested whether predatory loan, an illegal short-term loan with high-interest rate, was preferable or not by comparing with pawnshop loan, bank loan and household’s limited saving when households confront with financial distress. We divided the participants into three groups: lower low, low, and upper low income. We found that predatory loan was preferable especially for the lower low and low-income group. Result also confirmed that even if the predatory loan charge was increased, the lower low- and low-income groups still prefer to ease their financial distress through predatory loans. Moreover, the longer the duration of the predatory loan, the higher its probability to be chosen as a funding source in times of household financial distress.DOI: https://doi.org/10.26905/jkdp.v21i3.1261

Abstract

Financial technology could be an effective tool to achieve financial inclusion. However, it neededa certain level of readiness of society. In this paper, we investigated the determinants of readinessin the implementation of digital financial services which led to cashless society. We did a surveyon 993 adults in a province in Indonesia using proportional sampling technique. Estimated usingordinary least square, our empirical results showed that readiness perception had high correlationwith the quality of supporting infrastructure. By taking into account some demographic factors,we found that more educated and younger people had high spirit to adopt this system. Evidenceshowed that men were more enthusiastic in using such technological-based system. However, wedid not find an evidence on the difference of readiness perception between those living in rural andthose living urban areas.
