Multilayer Network Analysis for Improved Credit Risk Prediction
We present a multilayer network model for credit risk assessment. Our model accounts for multiple connections between borrowers (such as their geographic location and their economic activity) and allows for explicitly modelling the interaction between connected borrowers. We develop a multilayer personalized PageRank algorithm that allows quantifying the strength of the default exposure of any borrower in the network. We test our methodology in an agricultural lending framework, where it has been suspected for a long time default correlates between borrowers when they are subject to the same structural risks. Our results show there are significant predictive gains just by including centrality multilayer network information in the model, and these gains are increased by more complex information such as the multilayer PageRank variables. The results suggest default risk is highest when an individual is connected to many defaulters, but this risk is mitigated by the size of the neighbourhood of the individual, showing both default risk and financial stability propagate throughout the network.

A Multilayered Approach to Classifying Customer Responsiveness and Credit Risk
This study evaluates the performance of various classifiers in three distinct models: response, risk, and response-risk, concerning credit card mail campaigns and default prediction. In the response model, the Extra Tree…
Evolution of Credit Risk Using a Personalized Pagerank Algorithm for Multilayer Networks
In this paper we present a novel algorithm to study the evolution of credit risk across complex multilayer networks. Pagerank-like algorithms allow for the propagation of an influence variable across single networks, and…
Attention-based Dynamic Multilayer Graph Neural Networks for Loan Default Prediction
Whereas traditional credit scoring tends to employ only individual borrower- or loan-level predictors, it has been acknowledged for some time that connections between borrowers may result in default risk propagating over…
Graph Neural NetworkEnhancing Credit Risk Prediction: A Multi-stage Ensemble Pipeline
Effective credit risk management is fundamental to financial decision-making, requiring robust models to predict default probabilities and classify financial entities. Traditional machine learning approaches face signifi…
