We investigate the empirical performance of default probability prediction based on Merton's (1974) structural credit risk model. More specifically, we study if distance-to-default is a sufficient statistic for the equity market information concerning the credit quality of the debt-issuing firm. We show that a simple reduced form model outperforms the Merton (1974) model for both in-sample fitting and out-of-sample predictability for credit ratings, and that both can be greatly improved by including the firm's equity value as an additional variable. Moreover, the empirical performance of this hybrid model is very similar to that of the simple reduced form model. As a result, we conclude that distant-to-default alone does not adequately capture the firm's credit quality information from ...

To date, most eyewitness studies have focused on memory for events lacking in emotional content. However, real-life eyewitnesses may be asked to recall - and be exposed to misinformation concerning - an episode of minimal emotional arousal (e.g., witnessing a bank robber flee the scene of the crime from across the street), or events that are much more emotionally provocative (e.g., being the threatened teller in a bank robbery). In particular, although the misinformation effect has been demonstrated in numerous eyewitness studies, little research has addressed the potential additional influence of the emotional content of the event on susceptibility to misinformation. More generally, the manner in which negative events are processed and recalled remains controversial (e.g., McNaIIy, 200...

People with good credit ratings and good collateral could often negotiate with banks or other financial institutions to get something below prime," [Fletcher Baragar] says. "However, that's almost impossible to do today.
"Check the online institutions like ING Direct because often they'll quote you a lower rate than what the regular banks will quote," says [David Stangeland], also the associate dean at the Asper School of Business. "What you can usually do then is go back to your bank and say, 'I really want my car loan through you because I do all my business here, but I've been quoted this lower rate.' And more likely than not, your bank will match it."
"Even if you pay off your line of credit at the end of the month, you'd be charged more interest if the rate was five per cent per ...

The third part of a series on International Valuation Standards (IVS) is presented. IVS deals with bases other than market value, and presents certain concepts that may be new to members. But, before these new concepts are introduced, it is necessary to revisit the basic concepts fundamental to generally accepted valuation principles in that the terminology of some of these concepts in IVS varies from what AIC members may be familiar with. IVS recognizes that real property has to be distinguished from other categories of property, namely personal property, businesses, and financial interests. Other fundamental concepts covered by IVS deal with market value, highest and best use, and utility. The differences between these concepts and what appraisers know is relatively minor. The estimat...
