Existing research on financial distress typically treats failure as a single event and pays limited attention to the dynamic dependence between recurrent distress episodes. Ignoring such dependence can lead to biased hazard estimates and weaker predictive performance. We propose a...

This paper uses survival analysis as a tool to assess credit risk in loan portfolios within the framework of the Basel Internal Ratings-Based (IRB) approach. By modeling the time to default using survival functions, the methodology allows for the estimation of default probabilities and the...

This article estimates the impact of a policy change on an event probability in a difference-in-differences hazard model using four estimators. We examine the error distributions of the estimators via a simulation experiment with twelve different scenarios. In four simulation scenarios when all...

This paper delves into the intricate dynamics of the likelihood of merger and acquisition (M&A) completion in China and scrutinizes the influence of global and domestic economic conditions through survival analysis. By utilizing data from 3227 domestic M&A transactions from 1998 to 2024, this...

Survival analysis is a popular research tool in medicine and demography. It has been used for many years to study the duration of socio-economic phenomena. The aim of this article is to evaluate the relationship between the coefficients of the proportional hazards model (PH) and the accelerated...
