Bankruptcy visualization and prediction using neural networks: A study of U.S. commercial banks

作者:

Highlights:

• We combine multilayer perceptrons and self-organizing maps for bankruptcy prediction.

• We calculate the probability of distress up to three years before bankruptcy occurs.

• We develop a tool to assess bank risk in the short, medium and long term.

• Our model outperforms traditional models of bankruptcy prediction.

• Distressed banks are concentrated in real estate loans and have more provisions.
