Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation contains three chapters on topics related to corporate finance and banking. The first two chapters explore how fiscal policy and bank branching deregulation can impact firms’ liquidity and credit constraints, while the third chapter looks at the relationships between executive status, compensation, masculinity, and language complexity. In the first chapter, I shed light on the complexity of liquidity injection programs by providing evidence on unintended consequences that arise when governments and central banks do not consider firm heterogeneity. Utilizing hand-collected, firm-level data from the Paycheck Protection Program, I show that government lending effectively reduced closures (the ultimate consequence of a liquidity shortfall), especially when received during the first two weeks of the program. However, I find that there was significant heterogeneity in the effectiveness of funds, resulting from the government’s broad-brush eligibility guidelines and differences in how firms process policy information. The implementation heavily relied on the banking system, which exacerbated the distributional effects by favoring firms with stronger customer capital. Overall, this chapter highlights the importance of the design of liquidity distribution to maximize its benefits. In the second chapter, I quantify the extent to which financial constraints limit the scope of activity of small firms, influence their labor decisions, and impact their ultimate survival. To study this, I first document how markets with bank branching deregulation experienced an increase in branches, driven by the entry of larger out-of-state banks with a decrease in existing branches. Consequently, small businesses were affected disproportionally. In the treated markets, the overall lending to small businesses declined by 5.4% and remained lower for several years. The decline in credit supply led to a decrease in the number of small businesses; however, many firms were able to stay open by decreasing their demand for labor. Specifically, I document decreases in employment, hours worked, and wages in treated markets. Overall, the results demonstrate the critical dependence of small businesses on relationship lending by local banks and show how temporary negative credit supply shocks can have persistent adverse effects on labor. In the third chapter, I use novel measures of CEO and CFO vocal masculinity and language complexity to gain insight into how these individual-level traits influence executive status and compensation both within and across genders. I find that vocal masculinity, within females, positively impacts their likelihood of becoming a CEO while the opposite is true for males. Furthermore, I find heterogeneity in these relationships depending on the gender composition of the board, the gender of the CFO, and the entrenchment level of a firm. When it comes to communication, CEOs speak with greater complexity than CFOs while both female CEOs and CFOs use more complex language and speak longer during earnings calls than their male counterparts. Finally, for both male and female CEOs, compensation is positively related to masculinity, while increased language complexity only matters for females. These results help provide insight into the determinants of CEO status and compensation and may help explain how boards view and reward perceived competency across genders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the disciplining role of different types of investors and stakeholders of a firm and how that affects the firm's behaviors and characteristics. The first chapter studies the interaction of equity investors and debtholders in monitoring the firm and its effects on the efficiency of the firm's stock price. The second chapter studies how capital buffer requirements should be set by financial regulators in response to risk-shifting incentives by financial institutions. The third chapter first shows that the effect of a single large shock on a networked financial system might be different from that of a sequence of smaller shocks with the same cumulative magnitude and then analyzes optimal government intervention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first essay provides evidence that banks are liquidity constrained and hold private information about borrowers that hinders substitution of financing sources. Using loan level data from a public credit bureau and exploiting an exogenous shock to bank liquidity, I show that adverse selection prevents full arbitrage of profitable opportunities by competing lenders and thus liquidity constraints propagate to bank-dependent borrowers. The second essay evaluates a government program that targeted credit to small firms through existing financial intermediaries. Using the program eligibility rule to identify the effect on target firms, I find that target firms' total bank debt increased by 8 cents for every dollar of program financing provided to the banks. This effect is larger when the intermediary bank is more likely to lend to smaller firms according to observable bank characteristics. The third essay evaluates empirically the effect of credit history disclosure on the financial position of a sample of manufacturing firms in Argentina. Results indicate that credit history disclosure has a negative impact in the ability of firms to raise external finance when firms are exposed to a high liquidity risk.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of 3 self-contained theoretical essays.Essay 1 brings into focus the problem of "manufacturing" tail risk in the banking sector. This work shows that, in order to prevent banks from engaging in tail risk, bank capital regulation should account for the internal agency problem between bank shareholders and bank top managers. It is proposed to design bank capital requirements in the form of incentive-based recapitalization mechanism which would induce bank shareholders to shape executive compensation in such a way as to prevent top managers from engaging in tail-risk.Essay 2 deals with the problem of moral hazard in bank asset management. It proposes the concept of incentive-based bank supervision aimed at preventing moral hazard at a minimum cost to the regulator. It is shown that the intensity of supervision efforts should be gradually adjusted to the bank's financial health: banks in the mild form of distress should be subject to random audits, whereas deeply distressed banks should be placed under temporary regulatory control. To prevent double moral hazard, external auditors involved in supervision should be offered the optimal incentive contract.Essay 3 examines the impact of credit rationing (debt capacity) on corporate investment in the setting with costly debt financing. It is shown that, when credit constraints are binding, the firms with intermediate levels of debt capacity will establish larger investment projects than the firms with relatively low or high debt capacity. This non-monotonicity of investment on debt capacity arises due to the effect of the lump-sum debt issuance costs in the dynamic context of investment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second and third chapters show that patterns in local firms' demand for bank finance influence the behavior of individual banks and the structure of the banking industry. Many studies find that bank industrial organization helps structure nonfinancial industries via the credit supply, but these chapters argue that causality also runs in the other direction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of three essays on topics in banking and corporate finance. The first essay analyzes whether equity holdings of international lenders affect the transmission of credit supply shocks from developed countries to emerging markets. I exploit the 1998 Russian debt default as an exogenous credit supply shock to international lenders and trace out the impact on bank lending in Peru. I find that after the shock international lenders with equity holdings in Peruvian banks increased financing to banks in Peru, while international lenders without equity holdings reduced financing to banks in Peru. This effect could be driven either by differential credit supply from international lenders or by heterogeneity in credit demand across banks. I control for credit demand by examining firms that have loans from both banks with international equity holders and banks without international equity holders and find evidence for the credit supply explanation. The change in credit supply has real effects: I find a lower bankruptcy rate among firms borrowing from banks with international equity holders than among firms borrowing from banks without international equity holders. These results suggest that equity holdings of international lenders mitigate the transmission of credit supply shocks to emerging markets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is made of three distinct chapters. The first chapter examines the causal link between banks' syndicated loan supply and non-financial firms' campaign contributions for US elections during the 2007-2008 financial crisis. The results indicate that a 10% decrease in loan supply of a given firm by its pre-crisis relationship lenders during the early crisis period leads to a 9% increase in firm's campaign contributions in 2008. Further, firms' level of past campaign contributions is positively associated with favorable loan terms for the future. The findings lend support to the idea that campaign contributions are an investment in political capital rather than merely a form of consumption good. The second chapter identifies the effect of banks' industry exposures prior to market-entry on the output growth of manufacturing sectors through US bank-entry deregulations. The findings indicate that the larger the discrepancy in specialization in an industry between a state-pair, the higher the impact of banking integration on the growth of that sector in the state that is less-specialized. The last chapter examines whether banking integration across regions has any impact on the market for corporate control between them. The results show that there are more Mergers and Acquisitions and divestitures across state-pairs whose banking systems have experienced a higher integration, compared to state-pairs with no such integration. The findings in the last two chapters indicate a banking channel that shapes the states' industrial landscape.
