摘要:This study aims to create a prediction model that would forecast the bankruptcy of government funded start-up firms(GFSUs).Also,the financial development patterns of GFSUs are outlined.The dataset consists of 417 Estonian GFSUs,of which 75 have bankrupted before becoming five years old and 312 have survived for five years.Six financial ratios have been calculated for one(t+1)and two(t+2)years after firms have become active.Weighted logistic regression analysis is applied to create the bankruptcy prediction models and consecutive factor and cluster analyses are applied to outline the financial patterns.Bankruptcy prediction models obtain average clas?sification accuracies,namely 63.8% for t+1 and 67.8% for t+2.The bankrupt firms are distinguished with a higher accuracy than the survived firms,with liquidity and equity ratios being the useful predictors of bankruptcy.Five financial patterns are detected for GFSUs,but bankrupt GFSUs do not follow any distinct patterns that would be characteristic only to them.
