Abstract: This paper presents a hierarchical Bayesian analysis of the partial adjustment model of financial ratios using mixture models, an approach that allows us to estimate the distribution of the adjustment coefficients. More particularly, it enables us to analyse speed of reaction in the presence of shocks affecting financial ratios objectives as a basis to establish homogenous groups of firms. The proposed methodology is illustrated by examining a set of ratios for a sample of firms operating in the U.S. manufacturing sector. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
