Why do banks disappear? The determinants of U.S. bank failures and acquisitions [PDF]

This paper examines the determinants of individual bank failures and acquisitions in the United States during 1984-1993. We use bank-specific information suggested by examiner CAMEL-rating categories to estimate competing-risks hazard models with time ...
