Abstract

FICO® Scores assess default likelihood under “normal” conditions. Additional risk emanates from economic variability and manifests itself in changes to the score distribution as well as changes to the Odds-to-Score relationship. In this session we will examine credit bureau data from the Great Recession in the United States as compared to a stable economic period. We’ll share a framework that provides new and actionable insights into consumers’ sensitivities to such economic fluctuations such as:

  • Application of counterfactual analysis, machine learning, and scorecards, to rank-order consumers’ sensitivities

  • Consumer segmentation by economic sensitivities

  • Sensitivity profiling reveals interesting differences between the most and the least sensitive consumers

  • How you can put “economic shock absorbers” under your lending strategies

  • Improving the accuracy of portfolio simulations under varying economic conditions
