Poenaru-Olaru, L. (author), Redi, Judith (author), Hovanesyan, Artur (author), Wang, H. (author)Small and medium enterprises (SME) are crucial for economy and have a higher exposure rate to default than large corporates. In this work, we address the problem of predicting the default of an SME. Default prediction models typically only consider the previous financial situation of each analysed company. Thus, they do not take into account...conference paper 2022
