Econometric Analysis of the Determining Factors of Default in Chilean Companies

Measuring the growth of a country can be affected by different factors, such as services available to the population, political-social stability and financial health of both households and companies, among others. In general, with these indicators, what is sought is to be able to find the phenomena or factors that explain what is happening. A case that is always of public interest is knowing the financial status of a company, given the impact they have on society, whether they are micro, small, medium or large companies. Based on this, and given that today the information inputs are different and extensive, which can come from government entities as well as private ones, this work seeks to establish an explanation of what are the factors that influence whether a company may fall into default. To do this, a multivariate econometric analysis is used, through which it has been established that factors such as the number of partners of a company are not predominant factors in the default of a company, unlike the number of workers or assets.
