Bank insolvency risk and Z-score measures with unimodal returns

Applied Economics Letters, 2011, vol. 18, issue 17, 1683-1685

Abstract: We specialize the established justification for using Z-scores as a risk measure reflecting a bank's probability of insolvency to the case where the bank's distribution of returns is unimodal, obtaining a refined upper bound of the probability of insolvency for this potentially useful special case.
