A new research paper proposes using Distributionally Robust Optimisation (DRO) methods to improve fairness in credit scoring systems. The study, authored by Pablo Casas and others, addresses concerns raised by the European Commission and the Executive Office of the US President regarding biased loan approval models. The research found that DRO methods significantly enhance fairness with minimal impact on predictive accuracy, suggesting their potential for more equitable credit scoring, provided implementation challenges are overcome.
