Abstract:

In this paper, I investigate the predictive ability of market variables in correctly predicting and distinguishing going concern opinion firms versus going concern firms. Following Fernandez et al. (2014), which demonstrated the benefit of adding market variables into a model to predict financial distress, the best distinctive market variables are employed in this paper. The bid-ask spread plays an important role the further one gets from the event, but a more subdued role as the event approaches than that found in the literature.
