Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Since the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s 1999 report, "Credit Risk Modelling: Current Practices and Applications", credit risk modeling has remained a topic of significant interest in the field of computation. The global financial crisis, COVID-19 pandemic and growing inflationary pressures, among other factors, have provided a new impetus for the development of sophisticated credit risk modeling techniques. This poses many challenges to credit analysts, investment bankers, corporate bankers, asset managers, policy makers and the academic community. This Special Issue aims to present the latest theoretical and empirical developments in the field of measuring and modeling credit risk. We are seeking papers that explore various aspects of credit risk assessment models. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Loan portfolio risk modeling;
  • Counterparty credit risk;
  • Regulatory oversight of credit risk models;
  • Sovereign risk;
  • Interest rate risk;
  • Stress testing;
  • Measuring credit risk: probability of default and LGD;
  • Credit scoring models;
  • Current developments of structural and reduced-form models;
  • Rating-based models;
  • Use of big data and artificial intelligence (AI) in credit risk modeling.

The relationship between financial development indicators and non-performing loans (NPLs) has garnered significant attention, especially in emerging countries. The puzzle of whether financial sector development increases or decreases Non-performing Loans (NPL)s has not been resolved to the satisfaction of the curious mind. This research attempts to answer the above question by studying the asymmetric and symmetric association between financial sector development and NPLs, by utilizing the novel non-linear autoregressive distribution lag (NARDL) and the linear autoregressive distribution lag (ARDL) approach. Moreover, to make the study inclusive, we have added a series of proxies to measure financial sector development and macroeconomic vulnerabilities. Our main findings confirm that financial sector development and NPLs move together in the long run, and there is significant evidence of the asymmetric relationship. We infer that NPLs react differently to the negative and positive shocks of financial development and macroeconomic variables both in the short and long run. In the long-run positive shocks in financial intermediation, banking efficiency, banking depth, banking stability index, and banking non-interest income significantly impact the NPLs in emerging countries. The positive shocks of financial sector development (financial intermediation and size of banks) increase NPLs in emerging countries and vice-versa. Furthermore, regarding the macroeconomic variables, the positive shock of inflation, unemployment, and interest rate positively affect NPLs. The empirical analysis also concludes that in the long-run foreign bank presence is an insignificant factor affecting NPLs in the selected countries. This study emphasizes that, unlike the linear model, the non-linear model provides a more realistic and robust result by highlighting hidden asymmetries, which will help policymakers make appropriate strategic decisions.
