Imperfections
pi Ris + (1 pi ) R f = R
Banks lend B = K W and get (1 + r )B in case of success and R f in
case of failure.
Assume that Ris > (1 + r )B > R f for all i.
Asymmetric info: entrepreneur knows his pi the bank does not.
Pro…ts
Firm : E (π i ) = pi [Ris (1 + r )B ]

Bank : E ( π b ) = (1 + r )B pi g (pi ) dpi + R f (1 pi ) g (pi ) dpi

which is decreasing in pi :
high risk investors are willing to pay more for a loan, but then dp/dr < 0.

The productive agents use a linear production tecnology in capital only as,
