Banking fragility and financial crisis prevention in Peru: 1997–1999

Abstract

Develops a search for early warning indicators of financial crises, as well as the creation of an index to measure the degree of vulnerability or fragility of the Peruvian banking system. It is based on the signals approach and is complemented by an econometric approach using a likelihood function to identify the probability determinants within a bank that increase its financial fragility.
