Determining the factors related to the financial failure of a company is important. In this paper, we extend literature on bank failure prediction by modelling bank failures in Turkey from 1998 to 2000 using three statistical models combined with a principal component analysis on financial ratios. The three statistical models employed are a logistic regression, a logistic regression that takes serial correlation into account via generalized estimating equations and a marginalized transition model (MTM). Time and financial ratios that are related with capital adequacy and profitability, risk, non-interest income and Fx assets to Fx liabilities are found to be significant in classifying failed banks. Each of our methods achieves a correct classification rate of 93.3%. Among the three models, MTM, which is the soundest model in terms of statistical assumptions, shows slightly better model fit properties.

Uncertainty assessment for the evaluation of net present value of a mineral deposit
Erdem, Ömer; Güyagüler, Tevfik; Department of Mining Engineering (2008)
The profitability of a mineral deposit can be concluded by the comparison of net present values (NPV) of all revenues and expenditures. In the estimation of NPV of a mineral deposit, many parameters are used. The parameters are uncertain. More accurate and reliable NPV estimation can be done with considering the related uncertainties. This study investigates the probability distributions of uncertain variables in estimation of NPV and evaluation of NPV using Monte Carlo simulation. @Risk 4.5.7 software pack...
Predicting financial distress of Turkish non-financial firms: evidence from micro data
Yılmaz, Muhammed Hasan; Ercan, Hakan; Department of Economics (2019)
In this thesis, determinants of financial distress probabilities are analyzed for the period over 2006-2016 by utilizing firm-level and loan-level data sets. Based on the financial distress definition constructed from the existence of non-performing loans, univariate tests indicate that financially problematic Turkish corporates have lower liquidity, profitability and asset turnover, while they are also the ones with inferior short and long-term debt paying ability. To form multivariate specifications, vari...
A NEW ROBUST OPTIMIZATION TOOL APPLIED ON FINANCIAL DATA
Ozmen, A.; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Karimov, A. (2013-07-01)
Recent financial crises, with an increased volatility and, hence, uncertainty factors, have introduced a high "noise" into the data taken from the financial sectors and overall from any data related to the financial markets, so that the known statistical models do not give trustworthy results. As we know the solutions of the optimization problem can show a remarkable sensitivity to perturbations, coming from the data, in the parameters of the problem. To overcome this kind of difficulties, the model identif...
Bank asset and liability management under uncertainty
Oguzsoy, CB; Güven, Sibel (Elsevier BV, 1997-11-01)
This study presents a multiperiod stochastic linear simple recourse model for asset and liability management in banking. The model determines the portfolio of assets and liabilities over the planning horizon given a set of deterministic rates of returns of investments and costs of borrowings, and a set of random outstanding deposit levels, liquidity and total reserve requirements with a given discrete probability distribution. The intention is to develop an optimization tool to assure sustained profitabilit...
Uncertainty, macroprudential policies and corporate leverage: Firm-level evidence
Yarba, Ibrahim; Güner, Zehra Nuray (2020-06-01)
This paper investigates the impact of macroprudential policies and uncertainty of economic environment on corporate leverage dynamics over the last decade. This is the first study to investigate the impact of macroprudential policies and uncertainty on leverage dynamics of Turkish non-financial firms using firm-level data. We argue in this paper that persistence of uncertainty should be a more appropriate factor affecting credit dynamics rather than uncertainty. In that sense, we construct a measure of unce...
