Abstract: Peer-to-Peer lending platforms may lead to cost reduction, and to an improved user experience. These improvements may come at the price of inaccurate credit risk measurements, which can hamper lenders and endanger the stability of a financial system. In the article, we propose how to improve credit risk accuracy of peer to peer platforms and, specifically, of those who lend to small and medium enterprises. To achieve this goal, we propose toaugment traditional credit scoring methods with “alternative data” that consist of centralitymeasures derived from similarity networks among borrowers, deduced from their financialratios. Our empirical findings suggest that the proposed approach improves predictiveaccuracy as well as model explainability.
