Abstract

In this paper we apply a neural approach to develop classification models in order to assess the performance of non-banking financial institutions (NFIs) in Romania. Our objective is twofold: to empirically validate our methodology and understand how different financial factors can and do contribute to the NFIs’ movements from one performance class to another.
