The aim of this study is to show how a Kohonen map can be used to increase the forecasting horizon of a financial failure model. Indeed, most prediction models fail to forecast accurately the occurrence of failure beyond one year, and their accuracy tends to fall as the prediction horizon...

This study examines a method of analyzing the dynamics of financial failure. Using a large amount of data and a Kohonen map, we show how to depict company trajectories of behavior and movement to terminal failure We also show how to analyze these trajectories to describe and understand the...

The aim of this article is to analyze the various aspects of dividend policy. Emphasizing tax issues, theoretical frameworks of informational asymmetry of corporate governance and life cycles, we show that a static vision of dividends has been gradually replaced by a dynamic vision....
