The aim of this paper is to compare between three statistical methods in predicting corporate financial distress. We will use the Discriminant Analysis, Logit model and Random Forest. These approaches are based on a sample of 800 companies during the period from 2006 to 2008, as well as on the...

Comme pour toutes les crises, la défaillance des entreprises n'est perçue comme un problème que par celles ou ceux qui en sont directement ou indirectement les victimes et qui doivent en assumer les conséquences. La défaillance n’est pas du domaine exclusif des petites et moyennes...

The aim of this paper to compare between two statistical methods in predicting corporate financial distress. We will use the PLS (Partial Least-Squares) discriminant analysis and support vector machine (SVM). The PLS discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) regression is a method connecting a qualitative...

The objective of this article is to apply the technique of the PLS logistic regression to the forecast of the financial distress of the French firm. This research is motivated by the shortcomings of traditional models. The sample consisted of 800 French SMEs for which accounting and financial...

This paper aims to explore the links between Brent crude oil index and stock markets index in OECD countries. We estimate time-varying conditional correlation relationships among these variables by employing a Multivariate Fractionally Integrated Asymmetric, Power ARCH model with dynamic...

This paper contributes to the literature by investigating the relationships between business activity, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, energy consumption in a developing country by taking into consideration the effects of ongoing industrialization and financial development. To do this, we...

If perception is a concept which is necessarily intuitive in the analysis of transformations in information systems, it is not to be taken into account at its fair value in existing theoretical models. These models are mainly interested in the following triptych: Intelligence (formulation of the...

We estimate and compare the effects of small and large irrigation dams on cropland productivity in South Africa (SA). To this end we construct a panel data set of SA river basins. The econometric analysis reveals that while large dams increase cropland productivity downstream, they have a...
