We analyse the ability of the distance-to-default and bond spreads to signal bank fragility. We show that both indicators are complete and unbiased and that spreads are non-linear in the probability of bank default. We empirically test these properties in a sample of EU banks. We find leading...

This paper analyses cross-border contagion in a sample of European banks from January 1994 to January 2003. We use a multinomial logit model to estimate the number of banks in a given country that experience a large shock on the same day (“coexceedances”) as a function of variables measuring...

Using a data set of more than 5000 large commercial banks from all major European banking markets over the period … 1993-2004, the application of meta-frontiers enables us to assess the existence of a single and integrated European banking … market. We find evidence in favor of a single European banking market characterized by cost and profit meta …
