Predicting European Banks Distress Events : Do Financial Information Producers Matter?
This article assesses the predictive power of sell-side stock analysts and credit rating agencies on the prevision of European banks distress events by introducing their respective disclosures into a logit early-warning system. The estimation is performed over the 2000Q3-2020Q1 period. As direct bank failures are rare in Europe, I construct a dataset accounting for direct failures and state and private sector interventions. The model is calibrated to minimize the loss of a decision-maker committed to prevent impending distress events and is estimated in a real-time fashion. I also control for bank- and macro-level data by integrating accounting ratios and variables related to the banking sector and the business cycle as a whole. I find both financial information producers’ disclosures to display forward-looking informative and predictive performance on bank distress risk up to two years in advance. My results highlight their added value on bank distress prevision with regard to accounting and macroeconomic data, that is beyond solely acting as a synthesis of such data
