Abstract

Summary The purpose of this paper is to compare three different instruments for predicting bankruptcy. In this study we develop a multivariate discrimination model, a logistic regression model, and a neuronal network model based on financial data from 232 various companies. A comparison of the Classification abilities of the three instruments is presented. The results show that all of them have a good misclassification error of less than 25%. The best model is the logistic regression model with an alphaerror of 10,3% and a betaerror of 20,7%.
