Trade Credit as a Markovian Decision Process with an Infinite Planning Horizon

The trade credit process is modelled as a series of stochastic cash flows with recursive decisions over an infinite planning horizon. A closed form solution is obtained for the value of extending credit, and a function is derived for the upper bound on acceptable default risk. Conditions for optimal...

description The trade credit process is modelled as a series of stochastic cash flows with recursive decisions over an infinite planning horizon. A closed form solution is obtained for the value of extending credit, and a function is derived for the upper bound on acceptable default risk. Conditions for optimal myopic credit decisions are examined, and the value of extending trade credit is analyzed for sensitivity to function parameters.
