Description
Financial Statement Analysis and the Prediction of Financial Distress discusses the evolution of three main streams within the financial distress prediction literature: the set of dependent and explanatory variables used, the statistical methods of estimation, and the modeling of financial distress.
Section 1 discusses concepts of financial distress.
Section 2 discusses theories regarding the use of financial ratios as predictors of financial distress. Section 3 contains a brief review of the literature.
Section 4 discusses the use of market price-based models of financial distress.
Section 5 develops the statistical methods for empirical estimation of the probability of financial distress. Section 6 discusses the major empirical findings with respect to prediction of financial distress.
Section 7 briefly summarizes some of the more relevant literature with respect to bond ratings.
Section 8 presents some suggestions for future research and Section 9 presents concluding remarks.
