Our empirical findings suggest that the most robust determinants of firm default are firm-specific variables such as the ratio of working capital to total assets and the SD of the firm stock return. In contrast, aggregate variables do not seem to play a relevant role once firm-specific characteristics (observable and unobservable) and model uncertainty are taken into consideration UR - https://doi.org/10.1080/13504851.2012.718051 ER -
