To evaluate loan applicants, banks increasingly use credit scoring models. The objective of such models typically is to … multiperiod contracts for which reason it is important for banks not only to know if but also when a loan will default. In this …: loans are granted in a way that conflicts with both default risk minimization and survival time maximization. There is thus …
