We rerun the same analysis using an industry segmentation
based on the 2-digit industry code. Panel B of Table 6 reports the
results. We again find DAR to be negative and highly significant.
An improvement of the default prediction accuracy due to the
additional consideration of business credit information in an
industry leads to significantly lower realized default rates, which
is further support for H4. The effect of ARBaseline is not significant
with this industry-based segmentation. Our interpretation is that
some industries are too opaque or too idiosyncratic to have a reasonable
level of default prediction accuracy based on public information.
This fact once more highlights the value of business credit
information sharing documented in our earlier analyses.
