Bankruptcy in the same amount of time and history is very rampant and therefore the vision of the future can be prevented. Using data envelopment analysis (DEA) and malmquist index can precise evaluating of the performances of many different kinds of decision making units (DMU) such as hospitals, universities, business firms, etc. In this paper, we will modify directional distance formulation o...

In this paper, we test alternative feature selection methods for bankruptcy prediction and illustrate their superiority versus popular models used in the literature. We these using a comprehensive dataset of more than one million financial statements from privately held Norwegian SMEs 2006-2017. Our are allowed to choose among 155 accounting-based input variables derived prior find that chosen ...

The overall objective of this research is to analyze the financial condition failing companies prior bankruptcy, in comparison with non-failing companies, which are matched on industry, size, and time-period. sample consists 168 SMEs from wholesale retail whose statements were analyzed for 2011-2015 period. analysis primarily based ratio models developed bankruptcy prediction statement manipula...

Of the methods used to build bankruptcy prediction models in the last twenty years, neural networks are among the most challenging. Despite the characteristics of neural networks, most of the research done until now has not taken them into consideration for building financial failure models, nor for selecting the variables to be included in the models. The aim of our research is to establish th...

One of the most significant threats to the economy of a nation is the bankruptcy of its banks. This study evaluates the susceptibility of Nigerian banks to failure with a view to identifying ratios and financial data that are sensitive to solvency of the bank.
