Análise da dominação de membros tomadores ou poupadores de recursos nas cooperativas de crédito mineiras

Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify the dominance behavior in credit unions affiliated to the Sicoob-Crediminas system in Minas Gerais state, Brazil. Borrower-dominated unions are those that offer low borrowing rates and also low saving rates, while saver-dominated unions practice higher rates for savings as well as for loans. The results indicate that Sicoob-Crediminas unions are dominated by borrowing members, with better savings and loan rates, in comparison to the rates committed by the banking system.
