Abstract
The Altman’s Z-score model was developed in 1968 for assessing the distress of industrial corporations listed on the US stock market. This paper analyses whether Z-score can correctly predict business failures in non US stock markets (and, more in general, Anglo-Saxon) in today’s context. To this aim, we analyse the theoretical and practical characteristics of the original Z-score model and highlight some of its potential shortcomings, specifically focusing on its critical aspects.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
