| Abstract: | Empirical models of a potential failure process that incorporate distress states between the extremes of corporate health and bankruptcy are uncommon. The authors depict financial distress as a series of financial events that reflect varied stages of corporate adversity. The authors' intent is to provide information regarding the influence of certain risk dimensions and firm-specific attributes on distressed firm survival over time. Within a theorized distress framework, they utilize the techniques of survival analysis to longitudinally track firms, grouped a priori according to an initial decline in operating cash flows. The authors find that the event of default has a significant positive association with business failure. |
