Abstract
Since 80s of last century, credit decision mechanism had attracted a lots researchers’ attention, which included Nobel prize winner Stiglitz(1981), Bester(1985), Besanko(1987) and Jin Wu(1996-1997). The feature of credit decision mechanism modeling is that considers the condition of incomplete information, establishing credit decision model from the viewpoint of maximizing the expected profit of company, then establishing credit decision mechanism for the model.

Prof. Sulin Pang (1999) take the condition of incomplete information into account, and found that even though company maximize expected profit by pursuing opportunity benefit, because of the existence of moral risk, the credit risk is not necessary minimum.

For improving the known results, Prof. Sulin Pang (1999) proposed credit risk decision mechanism under the condition of incomplete information. She introduced the theory of incentive mechanism design into credit risk decision model, and established a appropriate credit decision mechanism for the model, furthermore, she explored the credit rationing and non-rationing mechanism design. Under the considering of default risk, Prof. Sulin Pang (2007) established two credit decision models with default risk parameter from the viewpoints of maximizing the expected profit of banks and minimizing the credit risk respectively, and established credit decision mechanisms for them. The results of applying the credit decision models and credit decision mechanism on real data are acceptable.

Resent years, Prof. Pang focused on the research of credit activities between bank and company, and credit market. She studied deeply on theory and methods of credit risk decision mechanism, specially focused on adverse selection, moral hazard, credit rationing and opportunity benefit in credit market. The research finding have been applied into real business, and been found it worked efficiently.
