In 2008, the Czech government launched an information system called Insolvency Register of the Czech Republic. Meanwhile, the Czech Insolvency Register contains publicly available data concerning approximately 160 000 insolvency proceedings.
The subjects participating in insolvency proceedings include debtors, creditors, senates deciding in the respective insolvency matter and insolvency administrators who handle debtor's assets during the proceedings. Often, the involved subjects participate in several insolvency proceedings thus forming a complex social network that evolves over time.
In order to better understand emerging trends in such a type of networks, we orient our research towards the identification of influential individuals. Association rules used to predict future behavior of the network reveal several interesting patterns present across the entire country as well as locally in specific regions only.
