Identifying Large Problem/Failed Banks: The Case of Franklin National Bank of New York

Joseph F. Sinkey

Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, 1977, vol. 12, issue 5, 779-800

Abstract: If the “smart money” was out of Franklin before its financial difficulties became public knowledge, just what elements of Franklin's balance sheet were the sagacious analysts reading and why weren't the banking authorities aware of this information? The purpose of this paper is to determine what balance-sheet and income-statement figures, if any, could have been arrayed in an ex post early-warning system to spotlight Franklin's developing problems.
