Credit Slips is a blog written by academics that covers issues related to credit, finance, insolvency, bankruptcy, and related topics. The opinions expressed here are based only on our best professional judgments. We do not accept advertising or commissions for publishing articles. We do not accept unsolicited guest posts.
The authors of this blog are responsible only for their own posts. Being a contributor to the blog does not imply endorsement of the opinions expressed by others here. We often disagree among ourselves. When we are together, we often cannot even agree on where to go for dinner. Just because one of us posted something on this web site does not mean the others agree. The same rules apply to our guest bloggers who we may occasionally invite.
We do not substantively revise our posts without making it clear we have done so. We may correct minor grammatical, stylistic, or spelling errors.
Comments are open. Individual blog authors may decide not to allow comments for all or some of their posts. Readers are welcome to post their comments, and we welcome open debate. We will remove comments that we find inappropriate such as comments that are profane or vulgar, commercial marketing, ad hominem attacks, or nothing but inflammatory rhetoric. We get very few such comments.
We encourage readers to share our blog with others and to use Credit Slips postings in news pieces or academic writing. Please link to the blog when you reproduce our content and acknowledge the name of the individual author of the posting.
Professor Bob Lawless administers the blog. Please direct all other questions about the blog to him. His contact information can be readily found through his faculty web page at the University of Illinois.
