Abstract

Recent studies have extensively used logit or probit models to examine hypothesis on merger motives and corporate bankruptcy. In this paper we analyze some methodological issues of using binary choice models in this framework and it is proposed an alternative methodology: The Multinomial Logit Model. Also, we provide an approach to interpreting and testing model coefficients. The method focuses on partial derivatives providing a better understanding of the directional effects of model coefficients and the effects of changes in the independent variables on the probability of belonging to a group. Finally, we apply this methodology to a sample of Spanish Insurance Firms. En los recientes trabajos de predicción de absorción y quiebras se han utilizado frecuentemente los modelos probit y logit. En este artículo se analizan algunas cuestiones metodológicas acerca de la utilización de modelos de elección binaria en este campo de investigación, y se propone una metodología alternativa: el modelo multilogit. También se desarrolla una aproximación para la interpretación y contrastación de los coeficientes del modelo. Dicho método se centra en las derivadas parciales, permitiendo una mejor comprensión de los efectos direccionales de los coeficientes, así como del efecto que los cambios en las variables exógenas ejercen sobre la probabilidad asociada a un grupo. Finalmente, se aplica esta metodología a una muestra de empresas aseguradoras españolas.
