The Differential Bankruptcy Predictive Ability of Specific Price Level Adjustments: Some Empirical Evidence.

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of specific price-level adjusted data in predicting bankruptcy.
Utilized data from the 'seventies and a matched-pair sample.
Applied multiple discriminant analysis and logit analysis for modeling.
Tested models on a holdout sample from a later period.
SPL data showed no significant improvement in bankruptcy prediction accuracy.
Models developed using SPL data were compared against traditional methods.

Abstract

Abstract This paper evaluates the usefulness of specific price-level adjusted (SPL) data for bankruptcy prediction using data from the 'seventies. Bankruptcy prediction models are derived from a matched-pair sample using multiple discriminant analysis and logit analysis and are tested on a holdout sample from a later period. The findings indicate that SPL data do not greatly improve bankruptcy prediction.
