| Abstract: | In this study, the theoretical and empirical significance of the multinomial nested logit (NL) model is evaluated for the prediction and explanation of firm financial distress. Based on a 4-state failure model of Australian company samples, a NL model is estimated and tested its predictive performance. Model fits' and out-of-sample forecasts' comparisons indicate that the unordered NL model statistically outperforms a standard logit model by substantial margins etc. |
