Abstract

We analyze consumer defaults in a sample of 64 000 customers taking personal loans from a Korean bank. Applying a generalized additive modeling (GAM) framework, we show a nonlinear impact of loan and borrower characteristics. In particular, the likelihood of default is high for both low-income borrowers and high-income borrow-ers. Our results are robust to a range of different tests, and they highlight the useful-ness of the GAM framework, especially the graphical presentation of nonlinearities.
