This dissertation consists of three essays exploring market reactions to business failure. In the first essay, the filing strategies are divided into three basic types, voluntary, involuntary and prepackaged. The second essay provides insight into industry wide factors impacting assimilation of information by the market.

Although business failure is essentially a microeconomic phenomenon which reflects a particular firm's situation, the likelihood of business failure can also be influenced by the economic conditions of the nation in which the business operates.

Therefore, the objective of this thesis is to re-examine the relationship between business failure, including both incorporated and unincorporated entities, and the aggregate econom

Bankruptcy is a costly event. Holders of publicly traded securities can rely on security prices to reflect their risk. Other stakeholders have no such mechanism. Hence, methods for accurately forecasting bankruptcy would be valuable to them. A large body of literature has arisen on bankruptcy forecasting with statistical classification since Beaver (1967) and Altman (1968). Reported total error rates typically are 10%-20%, suggesting that these models reveal information which otherwise is unavailable and has value after financial data is released.
