Consumer Experiences with Credit CardsGlenn Canner and Gregory Elliehausen
This article examines consumers' behavior, experiences, and attitudes regarding credit cards in the aftermath of the Great Recession and the implementation of the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009. The data for the article are primarily from a nationwide consumer survey sponsored by the Federal Reserve that was conducted in February 2012. The article discusses economic conditions in the period leading up to the survey because recent events may greatly influence survey responses. Many survey questions were identical or similar to those in earlier consumer surveys, making it possible to track changes in consumer experiences with, and attitudes about, this important financial product.

Mortgage Market Conditions and Borrower Outcomes: Evidence from the 2012 HMDA Data and Matched HMDA--Credit Record DataNeil Bhutta and Glenn B. Canner
This article describes mortgage lending activity in 2012 based on newly available data reported under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975 (HMDA). It also examines a new data set composed of HMDA records matched to borrowers? credit records. The matched data help document differences in the financial circumstances (credit scores and debt-to-income ratios) and subsequent loan performance of borrowers grouped by their race or ethnicity and income. The data also provide insight both into the potential for differential effects of the new qualified mortgage rules on access to credit across groups and into the role of the Community Reinvestment Act in the financial crisis.
