• Abstract 

  This paper aims to study the impact of endogenous and exogenous factors on the default probability through the structural approach (Internal Ratings-Based IRB). The study is conducted using data from listed companies on the Stock Exchange of Casablanca (BVMC); it covers the period from the beginning to the end of 2017. In this paper, we propose a numerical method, based on Monte Carlo simulation, to estimate the default probabilities using the Black & Scholes (1973) model. Our focus was on determining the most influential factors among the internal or external ones that impact the default probability of the listed non-financial companies on BVMC.
