Abstract: |
The paper focuses on the estimation
of customer default amoung the small and medium
enterprises (SME). Based on the literature on credit scoring modelswebuild a logistic regression model
which is widely used by commercial banks. Our models predicting
customers’ default on their payables to suppliers are estimated on a sample
of a customer portfolio of 905 SME clients. Based on the analysis the
non-financial, behavioural variables estimate
better customer default than the financial ratios. Our models perform weaker
than the usual performance level of scoring models in commercial bank. This
result assumes that defaulting on a payable to suppliers is an early signal
of possible financial difficulties. |
