Measures related the firm’s effectiveness in using assets generate profits, EBITDA margin, debt ratio, equity-to-debt ratio and return on are associated HGF status. While ratios improve prediction, prediction remains modest (AUC = 0.627). suggests it is difficult assume a very good forecast from only ratios; therefore, recommendation for researchers policymakers building models predicting HGFs incorporate non-financial variables, like intangible innovation team-related variables. Finally, standardized reporting of performance metrics out-of-sample out-of-time simulation studies.
