7 Road Map Theme: Horse racing among two approaches (4 models) on bankruptcy prediction Statistical models: - Altman (1968) - Shumway (2001) Structural models: - The standard call option (Merton ( 74) and KMV).
8 Road Map Theme: Horse racing among two approaches (4 models) on bankruptcy prediction Statistical models: - Altman (1968) - Shumway (2001) Structural models: - The standard call option (Merton ( 74) and KMV). - The barrier call option.
9 Road Map Theme: Horse racing among two approaches (4 models) on bankruptcy prediction Statistical models: - Altman (1968) - Shumway (2001) Structural models: - The standard call option (Merton ( 74) and KMV). - The barrier call option. The goal is to provide a comprehensive comparison between four models.

15 What are structural models We assume a Black-Scholes-Merton setting that the value of a firm follows
16 What are structural models We assume a Black-Scholes-Merton setting that the value of a firm follows
17 What are structural models We assume a Black-Scholes-Merton setting that the value of a firm follows d log V = dv = (α.5σ 2 )dt + dtσɛ (1) where V is the asset value of a firm, α and σ the drift and variance term of the Brownian Motion, and ɛ N(0, 1).
18 What are structural models We assume a Black-Scholes-Merton setting that the value of a firm follows d log V = dv = (α.5σ 2 )dt + dtσɛ (1) where V is the asset value of a firm, α and σ the drift and variance term of the Brownian Motion, and ɛ N(0, 1). The debt X t has a maturity of t + τ.
19 The standard call option At t + τ, the payoff to the debt holder: min[v, X ].
20 The standard call option At t + τ, the payoff to the debt holder: min[v, X ]. At t + τ, the payoff to the equity holder: max[0, V X ]. If V < X, the firm files bankruptcy and debt holders take over the firm.
21 The standard call option At t + τ, the payoff to the debt holder: min[v, X ]. At t + τ, the payoff to the equity holder: max[0, V X ]. If V < X, the firm files bankruptcy and debt holders take over the firm. The equity is a standard call on a firm s value.
22 Asset Value Merton (1974): A Standard Call Option asset value starts from 100 dv=µt+t 0.5 σε, ε~φ(0,1) total debt Time to Maturity (T=360)
23 The Barrier (Down-and-Out) Call Option There is a barrier that limits the movement of the firm s value.
24 The Barrier (Down-and-Out) Call Option There is a barrier that limits the movement of the firm s value. 1 When the asset value has not touched the barrier during the option s life, a down-and-out call option has the same payoff as a standard call.
25 The Barrier (Down-and-Out) Call Option There is a barrier that limits the movement of the firm s value. 1 When the asset value has not touched the barrier during the option s life, a down-and-out call option has the same payoff as a standard call. 2 When the asset value touches the barrier, the down-and-out call option expires, and an option holder gets nothing. This is also the time the firm files bankruptcy and debt holder take over the firm.
26 The Barrier (Down-and-Out) Call Option There is a barrier that limits the movement of the firm s value. 1 When the asset value has not touched the barrier during the option s life, a down-and-out call option has the same payoff as a standard call. 2 When the asset value touches the barrier, the down-and-out call option expires, and an option holder gets nothing. This is also the time the firm files bankruptcy and debt holder take over the firm. Some argue that treating equity as a barrier option is more appropriate in areas of risk management and securities pricing.
27 150 Barrier: A Down and Out Call Option asset value starts from 100 Asset Value total debt threshold default Time to Maturity (T=360)
28 Definition of DP call The standard call option assumes that a firm does not need to repay its total liabilities (X t ) until the maturity t + τ.
29 Definition of DP call The standard call option assumes that a firm does not need to repay its total liabilities (X t ) until the maturity t + τ. Therefore DP is the probability of the event that the firm s value is less than X t at t + τ.
30 Definition of DP call The standard call option assumes that a firm does not need to repay its total liabilities (X t ) until the maturity t + τ. Therefore DP is the probability of the event that the firm s value is less than X t at t + τ. A graphical presentation of DP call follows...

38 Definition of DP barrier We measure the probabilities of two events in DP barrier : Intuitive Case: - when the firm s value touches the barrier. Not-so-intuitive Case: - though the value does not touch the barrier, the firm cannot pay off its maturing debt (D).

55 Executive Summary We find 36% of non-bankrupt firms and 44% of bankrupt firms have a barrier that is significantly different from zero. Structural models dominate statistical models in out-of-sample forecast. Hypothesis test results show that the standard call option significantly out-performs all three models.
