Algorithmic Fairness in Mortgage Lending: from Absolute Conditions to Relational Trade-offs
2020
Minds and Machines
We introduce a new approach that considers fairness-not as a binary, absolute mathematical condition-but rather, as a relational notion in comparison to alternative decisionmaking processes. ...
Each of these notions is often presented as a one-size-fits-all, absolute condition; however, in reality, the practical and ethical trade-offs are unavoidable and more complex. ...
The US mortgage data are used to demonstrate a new methodology that views fairness as a trade-off of objectives-not as an absolute mathematical condition-but in relation to an alternative decisionmaking ...

The Attractions and Perils of Flexible Mortgage Lending
2013
The Review of financial studies
Abstract A mortgage program that offered borrowers greater flexibility in the timing of repayments increased a bank's volume by over 35%. Loans in the program exhibited superior performance. ...
Despite this, a regression discontinuity analysis shows that the causal impact of offering flexibility was to attract borrowers to the bank who experienced quadruple the average delinquency rate. ...
Nonetheless, in setting the rate premium on Flexible loans, the bank did likely face a trade off between profitability per mortgage and volume. 5 4 As an example, consider a Flexible mortgage of $369,550 ...

Restrictions on Credit: A Public Policy Analysis of Payday Lending
2008
Social Science Research Network
I capture the intensity of the payday lending activity in a state by the number of payday lending stores. ...
Using state level data between 1990 and 2006, I find no empirical evidence that payday lending leads to more bankruptcy filings, which casts some doubt on the debt trap argument against payday lending. ...
Restrictions on payday lending could stop or discourage people in this group from engaging in voluntary trade, and could force them to choose a less preferred alternative (presumably more costly). b) It ...

Formalising trade-offs beyond algorithmic fairness: lessons from ethical philosophy and welfare economics
2021
AI and Ethics
In this paper, we derive lessons from ethical philosophy and welfare economics as they relate to the contextual factors relevant for fairness. ...
Scholars have responded by introducing numerous mathematical definitions of fairness to test the algorithm, many of which are in conflict with one another. ...
In addition, fairness should not be considered in isolation from the related ethical goals. ...
