D1b Finding Relief from Debt: A Long-term Comparison of Canadian Debt Relief Options

mercredi 22 mai 2019 à 15:45–17:15 EDT

Key Words

debt relief, bankruptcy, credit counselling

Short Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the financial outcomes of Canadians who have completed a debt relief program. The primary research question is whether consumers who used a debt repayment plan are better or worse off than individuals who discharged their debt using another method. The primary method used to analyze the time-series data is a generalized spline (piecewise polynomial function) with different degrees of continuity at selected points (knots). We find significant differences between the debt relief groups with bankruptcy filers recovering the most quickly on key measures.
