We propose a new test against a change in the probability of multivariate tail events. The test is based on partial sums of a suitably defined indicator function and detects multiple changes in joint tail probabilities better than a previously suggested competitor.

We generalize an empirical likelihood approach to deal with missing data to a model of consumer credit scoring. An application to recent consumer credit data shows that our procedure yields parameter estimates which are significantly different (both statistically and economically) from the case...
