We wish to do this because our goal is to analyse how the economic and financial indicators can predict the risk of failure in a sample of companies.

We use a dynamic methodology to analyse financial failure.

We can use these different trajectories to identify the indicators that warn of the risks of failure of the companies in the sample. In conclusion, we will see that there are different failure trajectories. We also study if the warning signs of failure are different in each of these trajectories.

We analyse these trajectories to show if there are empirical evidences of the different processes of bankruptcy. Using a sample of 132 companies which were declared bankrupt or dissolved, we depict the trajectories behaviour of the companies on their path to failure.
