This study aims to test, on a specific
sample, if abnormal returns or alpha, as defined
by the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and the
Fama-French Three Factor Model (FF-TFM), can be
explained by the risk of failure measured using the
Skogsvik probability of default model. The study
tests data over a 20 year period for 133 Swedish
listed companies within the sectors manufacturing,
quarrying and mining, and IT.
