Capital ratios as predictors of bank failure
Park, Sangkyun; Peristiani, Stavros; Estrella, Arturo (2000-07)
The current review of the 1988 Basel Capital Accord has put the spotlight on the ratios used to assess banks? capital adequacy. This article examines the effectiveness of three capital ratios?the first based on leverage, the second on gross revenues, and the third on risk-weighted assets?in forecasting bank failure over different time frames. Using 1988-93 data on U.S. banks, the authors find that the simple leverage and gross revenue ratios perform as well as the more complex risk-weighted ratio over one- or two-year horizons.

Morgan, Donald P.; McAndrews, James J. (2014-04-04)
The motivation for the Economic Policy Review series was to understand better the behavior of large and complex banks, and we have covered a lot of ground toward that end.

Do capital markets predict problems in large commercial banks?
Simons, Katerina; Cross, Stephen (1991-05)
In the present climate of intense debate over deposit insurance reform, the nature and limits of market discipline become especially important.

Opponents of this view favor the traditional reliance on supervision by the bank regulatory agencies as the primary method to maintain the safety and soundness of the banking system and the integrity of the deposit insurance fund. ; This article attempts to shed some empirical ...

Lessons from the Rhode Island banking crisis
Rosengren, Eric S.; Pulkkinen, Thomas E. (1993-05)
