Abstract

In this paper we consider an extension of Vasicek’s (1991) model for new consumer fixed-payment credits in the Chilean banking system. Under the assumption that the economy experienced a complete business cycle during 2003-09, we are able to compute the so-called Long-Run Probability of Default (LRPD) which is 14.4% if we consider the number of defaulted credits or 12.9% if we weight default frequencies by loan size. In the model we allow a time-variant threshold which is a function of both macroeconomic factors and average-characteristics of incoming debtors. Also, counterfactual exercises indicate that credit standards for loan applications were relaxed during 2006–07, implying an increment on defaults.// En este artículo consideramos una extensión del modelo de Vasicek (1991) para los nuevos créditos de consumo en cuotas otorgados por el sistema bancario chileno. Según el supuesto de que la economía experimentó un ciclo económico completo durante 2003-2009, podemos calcular que la llamada probabilidad de impago en el largo plazo (PILP) es de 14.4%, si se considera el número de créditos en moratoria, o de 12.9% si se pondera la frecuencia de impago por el monto del crédito. Nuestro modelo permite un umbral de incumplimiento variable en el tiempo, que es función tanto de factores macroeconómicos como de características de los deudores. Además, los ejercicios contrafactuales indican que los estándares de las solicitudes de crédito se relajaron durante el periodo 2006-2007, lo cual implica un aumento en la tasa de impago.
