TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - A note on the financial condition of defense contractors JO - Defence and peace economics A1 - Bowlin, William F. SP - 295 EP - 304 VL - 6 IS - 4 N2 - In recent years, there have been several changes in the weapon-system acquisition market which have the potential to negatively impact the financial condition of defense contractors. This study evaluates the financial health of defense firms vis-a-vis nondefense firms using a fiscal distress identification model developed by E.I. Altman. We conclude that the financial condition of defense firms has deteriorated but the deterioration is the same as experienced by nondefense firms.
