Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the era of big data, abundant statistics and unprecedented computer power, we are still facing numerous problems concerning data processing, model specification, model selection, algorithm efficiency, etc., when trying to make predictions or understand the nature of certain economic or social processes. Such classes of datasets often have time-varying parameters, making it difficult to build adequate models, even if the datasets are large.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to contribute to the elaboration of new methods and statistical tools that would help researchers to model economic and social environments more efficiently. Therefore, we are looking for articles that propose novel mathematical tools and methods that can adequately describe and provide insight into the core of socioeconomic processes. The articles are expected to cover a wide range of topics, such as social statistics, financial modelling, statistics in marketing, macroeconomic time-series forecasting, panel data, cross-country economic modelling and regional econometrics.

This article deals with issues related to the use of mathematical methods of cash deficit probability predictions. A number of objective and subjective factors are described that prevent the wide integration of mathematical methods in the practical activities of economists. It is justified that, due to the large number of external and internal factors affecting the economic system state, the values of indicators of an economic system state are often random. The possibility of using probability theory methods to predict the occurrence of cash deficits is proved. Using empirical data including the results of thousands of observations, the possibility of using the normal distribution density function for the purpose of predicting insufficient funds for payment is illustrated. The essence of the proposed model is that it contains a prediction of a macrotrend—i.e., the risk of a cash gap—based on high-frequency microlevel data. At the same time, a prediction of the probability of a cash deficit, and not its estimation for a specific date, was made. This is the main difference between the described model and common scoring estimates. This article proposes an approach to estimate the probability of a cash deficit based on data from a specific business entity, rather than aggregated data from other organizations. Full article

The research paper is devoted to developing a mathematical approach for dealing with time-varying parameters in rolling window logit models for credit risk assessment. Forecasting coefficients yields a better model accuracy than a trivial approach of using computed past statistics parameters for the next time period. In this paper, a new method of dealing with time-varying parameters of scoring models is proposed, which is aimed at computing the default probability of a borrower. It was empirically shown that in a continuously changing economic environment factors’ influence on a target variable is also changing. Therefore, forecasting coefficients yields a better financial result than simply applying parameters obtained by accumulated statistics over past time periods. The paper develops a new theoretical approach, incorporating a combination of the ARIMA class model, the DCC-GARCH model and the state–space model, which is more accurate, than using only the ARIMA model. Rigorous simulation testing is provided to confirm the efficiency of the proposed method. Full article
