In contrast, these lenders retained loans with lower prepayment risk relative to loans they sold. Securitization strategy of lenders changed dramatically in 2007 as the crisis set in with most unwilling to retain higher-default-risk loans in return for lower prepayment risk. Contrary to the prime market, the subprime market does not exhibit any clear pattern of adverse selection. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. | Source Title: | Journal of Financial Economics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/123846 | ISSN: | 0304405X | DOI: | 10.1016/j.jfineco.2012.05.004 |
