Abstract
In this paper, based on quarterly data on the financial statements of Russian banks for the period from mid‐2013 to the end of 2021, using econometric methods of analysis, we estimated the factors that affect both the probability of bank default as well as other indicators of its activity — risk and profitability. The results obtained showed that balance sheet ratios are significantly correlated with the probability of bank default, its risk of insolvency, and profitability. Asset quality, a bank’s size, a capital ratio, and liquidity creation are important determinants of these bank’s characteristics. The insolvency risk (measured as a Z‐score), in turn, is significantly negatively correlated with the probability of default and profitability (ROA).

期刊介绍:
The Journal of Applied Econometrics is an international journal published bi-monthly, plus 1 additional issue (total 7 issues). It aims to publish articles of high quality dealing with the application of existing as well as new econometric techniques to a wide variety of problems in economics and related subjects, covering topics in measurement, estimation, testing, forecasting, and policy analysis. The emphasis is on the careful and rigorous application of econometric techniques and the appropriate interpretation of the results. The economic content of the articles is stressed. A special feature of the Journal is its emphasis on the replicability of results by other researchers. To achieve this aim, authors are expected to make available a complete set of the data used as well as any specialised computer programs employed through a readily accessible medium, preferably in a machine-readable form. The use of microcomputers in applied research and transferability of data is emphasised. The Journal also features occasional sections of short papers re-evaluating previously published papers. The intention of the Journal of Applied Econometrics is to provide an outlet for innovative, quantitative research in economics which cuts across areas of specialisation, involves transferable techniques, and is easily replicable by other researchers. Contributions that introduce statistical methods that are applicable to a variety of economic problems are actively encouraged. The Journal also aims to publish review and survey articles that make recent developments in the field of theoretical and applied econometrics more readily accessible to applied economists in general.
