Descrizione principale
Purpose: This study compares models for predicting business financial crises, fo-cusing on which are most effective. In light of the new European Directive on business failure, it highlights a trade-off between predictive accuracy and timeli-ness in static models and offers an alternative approach. Design/methodology/approach: This study examines the Italian early warning system (EWS), testing static alert indicators' predictive ability on a large sample of private companies. It then proposes a dynamic version of the EWS. Findings: The results show a trade-off between predictive ability and timeliness for static models. In contrast, a dynamic system is more accurate in predicting cri-sis events, allowing managers to take corrective actions. Originality: The results highlight the limitations of static prediction models and emphasize the potential of a simple dynamic model that is specifically designed for small- and medium-sized entities (SMEs). Practical implications: This study proposes a dynamic model tailored for SMEs, which are particularly vulnerable to financial crises. This insight can help managers and policymakers balance accurate predictions with timely interventions, especial-ly in European countries implementing crisis prediction models.
