In Plain English!

This paper is easy - good bedtime reading. (You only have to know the first 11 pages.) It overlaps with Kucera.Credit but focuses more on potential problems with using credit-scoring in ratemaking.

Question: identify arguments against the use of credit-scoring [Hint: FEED]
Frequency (credit score is correlated only with frequency, not with severity of claims)
Errors (50% of credit reports have errors, sometimes due to identity theft)
Economic downturns (downturns in economy may have a disparate credit impact on vulnerable populations)
Discriminatory (credit scoring may lead to rates that are unfairly discriminatory - see below for details)
mini BattleQuiz 1
Question: identify examples where credit scoring can be unfairly discriminatory
age: young people don't have a long credit history, elderly people use credit less often (both may result in a lower credit score)
poor families: may use cash versus credit (you need to use credit to get a good credit score)
recent immigrants: may not have access to credit (you need to use credit to get a good credit score)
moral/religious beliefs: certain belief systems may discourage use of credit (you need to use credit to get a good credit score)
mini BattleQuiz 2

There are a few miscellaneous items from old exams that are covered in the mini BattleQuiz. Make sure you look at the following problem because it ties together concepts from a few different readings: (It's also included in the mini BattleQuiz)
