An article, co-written by Professor Badi Baltagi, Distinguished Professor of Economics at Maxwell, recently appeared on VoxEU.org. The article looks to explain why African banks invest large sums abroad and lend relatively little to local businesses, pointing out that many banks suffer from a shortage of information about the creditworthiness of some of their customers.
