Paper on Strategies for Predicting Customer Default to Debut in the Fall
Posted 06/02/06
A new research paper, “Strategies for Predicting Equipment Lease Default", will be presented by the Foundation this fall. This paper will identify factors that impact or trigger default in equipment leasing contracts by comparing three approaches to the problem of forecasting lease default. Using data from the PayNet database, the researchers will address which of the “classification models” will obtain the “best” forecast for lease default and which predictor variables are most prophetic in the leasing industry. The research is being conducted by Levon Goukasian, Assistant Professor of Finance, the Seaver College, Pepperdine University, and Samuel L. Seaman, Professor of Decision Sciences, The Graziadio School of Business & Management, Pepperdine University. The paper will be available through the Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation store at www.LeaseFoundation.org/store/. The cost to non-donors is $75.00 for the study; donors receive a copy at no cost.
