| Abstract: | Internal credit ratings (hereafter as: int-cred-rts.) are expected to gain in importance. Whereas the eligibility of financial factors (here as: fin-facs.) as inputs for int-cred-rts. is widely accepted, the role of non-fin-facs. remains ambiguous. Analyzing credit file data from four major German banks, there is found evidence that the combined use of fin-facs. and non-fin-facs. leads to a more accurate prediction of future default events than the single use of each of these factors. |
