Loan contracts performance determines the profitability and stability of the financial institutions, and screening the loan applications is a key process in minimizing credit risk. Before making any credit decisions, credit analysis (the assessment of the financial history and financial backgrounds of the borrowers) should be completed as part of the screening process. Good borrowers with low c...

This paper discusses the economic order quantity ( EOQ ) under partial trade credit. In 1985, Goyal assumed that: (i) The unit selling price and the unit purchasing price were equal. (ii) The supplier would offer the retailer full trade credit under condition of delay payments. The main purpose of this paper wants to modify Goyal’s model to presume that the unit selling price and the unit purch...

Global macroeconomic imbalance combined with deregulation of US banks and increasing US real estate prices formed the basis for aggressive growth in worldwide trading of so called Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDO), i.e. similar loans pooled to create a financial derivative that can be bought or sold. The CDOs consisted mainly of prime and subprime housing loans, where the latter type is cha...

Supply chain management (SCM) addresses the management of materials and information across the entire chain from suppliers to producers, distributors, retailers, and customer.

Economic theory tells us that market and credit risks are intrinsically related to each other and not separable. We describe the two main approaches to pricing credit risky instruments: the structural approach and the reduced form approach. It is argued that the standard approaches to credit risk management ± CreditMetrics, CreditRisk+ and KMV ± are of limited value when applied to portfolios o...
