Abstract

En este trabajo de investigación se considera el modelo estructural de Merton, que permite determinar la probabilidad de incumplimiento de una empresa como la probabilidad de que el valor de mercado de los activos sea menor que el valor de los pasivos a su fecha de vencimiento. Se utiliza el modelo para identificar los principales determinantes de la probabilidad de incumplimiento de Banorte y BBVA, dos de los principales bancos del sistema financiero mexicano. Como era de esperarse, la probabilidad de incumplimiento aumentó debido a la crisis originada por la caída en el valor de los títulos subprime. Además se observa que la probabilidad de incumplimiento es sensiblemente mayor para el banco más apalancado, BBVA. Finalmente, la probabilidad de incumplimiento de BBVA está fuertemente vinculada a cambios en la tasa libre de riesgo, mientras que ésta no influye significativamente en la probabilidad de incumplimiento de BANORTE, que es más sensible a las variaciones en la prima por riesgo de mercado./ In this research, Merton’s structural model is considered, which allows to determine the probability of default of a firm as the probability that the market value of its assets falls below the firm’s liabilities at their maturity date. The model is used to identify the main determinants of the probability of default for BANORTE and BBVA, two of the most important banks in the Mexican Financial System. Just as expected, the probability of default increased due to the crisis unraveled by the fall in the price of subprime bonds. Also, it is sensibly higher for the more leveraged bank, BBVA. Finally, BBVA’s probability of default is strongly linked to changes in the risk free rate, while for BANORTE, it is more sensible to changes in the market risk premium.
