Abstract (english): The statistical techniques which cover the process of modeling and evaluating
consumer credit risk have become widely accepted instruments in risk management.
In contrast, we find only few and vague statements on how to define the default
event, i. e. on the concrete circumstances that lead to the decision of identifying a
certain credit as defaulted. Based on a large data set of individual payment histories
this paper investigates a possible solution to this problem in the area of installment
purchase. The proposed definition of default is based on the time due amounts are
outstanding and the resulting profitability of the receivables portfolio. Furthermore,
to assess the individual payment performance during the credit period, indicators for
monitoring and forecasting default events are derived. The empirical results show
that these indicators generate valuable information which can be used by the creditor
to improve his credit and collection policy and hence, to improve cash flows and
reduce bad debt loss.
