Forecasting recoveries in debt collection: Debt collectors and information production

Johannes Kriebel and Kevin Yam

European Financial Management, 2020, vol. 26, issue 3, 537-559

Abstract: Recent theoretical work suggests that debt collection agencies play an important role in gathering and processing debtor information. We study a comprehensive data set with information provided by original creditors and information gathered in third‐party debt collection. In line with the theoretical results, the initial information is sparse and the gathered information is essential for better‐informed predictions.
