ABSTRACT:
Regarding KMV model identification credit risk profile of small and
medium-sized listed companies, at present, domestic scholars has made some
achievements in the process of the KMV model combined with China’s
national conditions. In this paper, we will amend the model by using uncertain
interest rate instead of fixed rate on the basis of existing research.
Comparing the uncertain KMV model to traditional KMV model with ST-listed
companies and non-ST-listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchange, we find
that it performs slightly better as a predictor in uncertain KMV model and in
out of sample forecasts.
