Evaluation of the macro-and micro-economic factors affecting the financial energy of households

Abstract

This paper is an evaluation of the common macro-economic, micro-economic, and social factors affecting households’ financial situations. Moreover, the author’s objective was to develop a fuzzy logic model for forecasting fluctuations in the number of nonperforming consumer loans in a country using the example of Poland. This study represents one of the first attempts in the global literature to develop such a forecasting model based on macro-economic factors. The findings con-firm the usefulness of the proposed innovative approach to forecasting the volume of household insolvencies in a country.
