Although the concept is widely discussed in the economic literatures, it is less likely to observe lenders willing to lend up to the natural borrowing limit.In the real economic activities, borrowing limits are usually much more tighter than the natural borrowing limit due to the immature financial systems of the economyor the gap between the amount of information that the borrowers and lenders have(The latter is usually referred to as an asymmetric information problem).
