本學位論文涵蓋兩項研究主題：1.運用股價資料估算發生財務危機上市公司之全面性財務危機成本。2.進一步考量主管機關裁處股票不同交易方式，將台灣地區財務危機上市公司區分為「維持正常交易組」、「全額交割/暫停交易組」與「終止上市組」三個群組，並據以探討這三組財務危機群組其財務危機成本是否存有明顯之差異。
本文共蒐集104家台灣地區發生財務危機之上市公司：「維持正常交易」者有28家；「全額交割/暫停交易」者有73家；「終止上市」者有3家。根據這104家樣本廠商進行實證分析，獲致如下之主要實證發現：
第一，就全體樣本公司而言，在危機宣告日至交易方式變更日這段期間，股價明顯的下滑，亦即發生顯著異於零之龐大財務危機成本。透過股價資料來估算財務危機公司資產價值貶落之損失，足以顯示，以往研究沒有考慮資產價值的變動，遂造成財務危機成本之嚴重低估。
第二，就三群組之財務危機成本大小論，以「終止上市組」為最高，「全額交割/暫停交易組」居次，「維持正常交易組」最低。經由統計檢定，不同組群財務危機公司之財務危機成本大小確實存有顯著差異，亦即對股東財富造成明顯不同之不利影響。

This thesis covers two principal research issues: First, the present study makes use of stock prices for TAIEX-listed companies of which a financial distress takes place as reported in the press during the period from 1998 to 2004 to estimate overall financial distress costs. Second, in Taiwan, the Securities and Futures Commission, Ministry of Finance is empowered to decide the modes of transaction including “maintaining normal trading”, “cash transaction only/suspended trading”, and “delisting” which allows us to estimate further financial distress costs under different categories.
After collecting and analyzing 104 TAIEX-listed financially distressed companies, the primary empirical findings are as follows: Concerning the first research issue, for the entire sample, the present study finds that the financially distressed firms during the period from reporting in the press to 20 transaction days after the date of change in transaction mode have registered an average 50%~60% reduction in shareholder wealth, which has reached statistical significance at 0.01 significance level. Concerning the second research issue, the present study finds that the financial distress costs of “delisting” group are largest, the financial distress costs of “maintaining normal trading” group are lowest, and the financial distress costs of “cash transaction only/suspended trading” group are falling somewhere in between. Moreover, the paired differences among the above listed three groups in terms of percentage of the drop in stock prices are at least statistically significant at 0.10 significance level.
