Abstract

Using original data on 1635 individuals in rural South India, we analyse the correlation between debt, locus of control (LOC) and social identity (gender and caste) of borrowers. While LOC is correlated with debt negotiation, we find that the relationship is strongest for non-dalits (middle and upper castes) men. This result suggests that a more internal LOC is an additional advantage in negotiation for individuals with an already favourable social position.
