Abstract

 
The collapse and failure of a bank could have devastating consequences to the entire banking system and widespread repercussion effect on other banks and the economy as a whole. The main objective of this paper is to design an early warning system for predicting failure time of banks by type of ownership and investigating the effects of the leading indicators in predicting bankruptcy of the Iran's banks using Kaplan-Meier model and Cox hazard model in survival analysis framework. For this purpose, banks financial statement over the period of 2001-2014 were used. The study showed that the survival of Iranian banks Influenced by 13 leading variable that banking supervisors can use these indices for identifying high-risk banks. The results have shown that private banks have been less shelf life and the cost indices, credit risk and liquidity risk are the most important factors affecting the time of bank’s insolvency.
