摘要
The Basel II and III Accords propose estimating the credit conversion factor (CCF) to model exposure at default (EAD) for credit cards and other forms of revolving credit. Alternatively, recent work has suggested it may be beneficial to predict the EAD directly, i.e.modelling the balance as a function of a series of risk drivers. In this paper, we propose a novel approach combining two ideas proposed in the literature and test its effectiveness using a large dataset of credit card defaults not previously used in the EAD literature. We predict EAD by fitting a regression model using the generalised additive model for location, scale, and shape (GAMLSS) framework. We conjecture that the EAD level and risk drivers of its mean and dispersion parameters could substantially differ between the debtors who hit the credit limit (i.e.“maxed out” their cards) prior to default and those who did not, and thus implement a mixture model conditioning on these two respective scenarios. In addition to identifying the most significant explanatory variables for each model component, our analysis suggests that predictive accuracy is improved, both by using GAMLSS (and its ability to incorporate non-linear effects) as well as by introducing the mixture component.
