Equity and bond market signals as leading indicators of bank fragility
Gropp, Reint E.; Vesala, Jukka; Vulpes, Giuseppe - 2002
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...

We find evidence in favor of a single European banking market characterized by cost and profit meta …
