Abstract

[fre] La prédiction de la faillite des entreprises fait l ’ objet de nombreux travaux empiriques , depuis une trentaine d ’ années . Elle se fonde sur l ’ analyse économique et financière d ’ entreprises défaillantes et d ’ entreprises non défaillantes , afin de déterminer les variables , principalement comptables , qui distinguent au mieux les deux catégories de firmes . Nous proposons un état des lieux afin de rendre compte de l ’ efficacité relative des différentes méthodes de classification utilisées . Dans ce but , nous exposons la démarche commune tout en mettant en évidence les différentes modalités d ’ application empirique . Nous présentons le principe des techniques disponibles et une comparaison de leur performance , en mettant l ’ accent , de manière non exhaustive , à la fois sur les études fondatrices et sur les études les plus récentes . Mots-clés : prévision , faillite d ’ entreprise , analyse financière [eng] A Review of Business Failure Prediction Based on Financial Analysis of the Firm . . Many studies of business failure prediction have been carried out in the last thirty years or so . Prediction is based on an economic and financial analysis of failing and non-failing firms with the aim of determining the variables , mainly of an accounting nature , that best distinguish the two categories . The purpose of this review is to assess the relative effectiveness of the different classification methods employed . To that end we identify the common elements while highlighting the different ways in which they are applied empirically . We describe the principle of the available techniques and compare their performance , focusing non-exhaustively on both the founding studies and on more recent research . Key-words : prediction , business failure , financial analysis
