A Statistical Model for Credit Scoring
نویسنده
چکیده
We derive a model for consumer loan default and credit card expenditure. The default model is based on statistical models for discrete choice, in contrast to the usual procedure of linear discriminant analysis. The model is then extended to incorporate the default probability in a model of expected profit. The technique is applied to a large sample of applications and expenditure from a major credit card company. The nature of the data mandates the use of models of sample selection for estimation. The empirical model for expected profit produces an optimal acceptance rate for card applications which is far higher than the observed rate used by the credit card vendor based on the discriminant analysis. I am grateful to Terry Seaks for valuable comments on an earlier draft of this paper and to Jingbin Cao for his able research assistance. The provider of the data and support for this project has requested anonymity, so I must thank them as such. Their help and support are gratefully acknowledged. Participants in the applied econometrics workshop at New York University also provided useful commentary.

Credit scoring model have been developed by banks and researchers to improve the process of assessing credit worthiness during the credit evaluation process. The objective of credit scoring models is to assign credit risk to either a ‘‘good risk’’ group that is likely to repay financial obligation or a ‘‘bad risk’’ group who has high possibility of defaulting on the financial obligation. Constr...
