Abstract

This paper examines the impact of payment shock in home equity lines of credit at the end of their draw period, when the loans become amortizing, using a unique dataset containing recent account level data. With a sample of accounts that have either reached end-or-draw, or are approaching it, we estimate a competing hazards model of default and prepayment. We relate default and prepayment to the timing and size of payment increases. We find that the approach of end-of-draw stimulates rising prepayment which peaks immediately after end-of-draw. Default only increases after end-of-draw and is sensitive to the size of the payment increase.
