Abstract

In this paper a possibility of determination of financial institution's PD according to credit scoring models is discussed. First we will briefly introduce the two categories of credit scoring models logit model and probit model. In the main part of the paper we will work with the sample of almost three hundreds of commercial US banks and we will stepwise apply the above mentioned models on this sample to derive two models for estimation of PD. The goal of the paper is estimation of the PD of chosen US banks by means of the logit and probit model, discussion of the drawbacks and advantages of these models and comparison of the reached results.
