The Investor's Shelf — one person
EI
Edward I. Altman
Professor emeritus of finance at NYU Stern who created the Z-score model of bankruptcy prediction.
The Z-score gave credit analysts a published, testable formula for default probability from balance sheet ratios, and it is still the default screen in distressed work. Corporate Financial Distress and Bankruptcy sets out the mechanics of Chapter 11 and restructuring alongside the recovery and default statistics that distressed investors price against.
