A Study on the Comovement of Industry Default

Abstract
This paper studies the comovement of industry defaults among listed companies. Rank correlation coefficients of Spearman's $\small{{\rho}}$ and Kendall's $\small{{\tau}}$ measure the concordance of default. These non-parametric coefficients do not require distributional assumptions and are easily used even with less data and extreme values. This study predicts a future financial crisis by looking at the comovement of industry defaults. We expect our analyses will aid market participants (including company executives) in making investment or risk management decisions.
