Download or read book Debt Maturity and the Use of Short Term Debt written by Sophia Chen and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The maturity structure of debt can have financial and real consequences. Short-term debt exposes borrowers to rollover risk (where the terms of financing are renegotiated to the detriment of the borrower) and is associated with financial crises. Moreover, debt maturity can have an impact on the ability of firms to undertake long-term productive investments and, as a result, affect economic activity. The aim of this paper is to examine the evolution and determinants of debt maturity and to characterize differences across countries.
Download or read book Credit Information Quality and Corporate Debt Maturity written by Marco Sorge and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides new theoretical and empirical evidence suggesting that the quality of credit information may be a key element in explaining the maturity structure of corporate debt around the world. In markets with poor credit information and hence a high degree of uncertainty about borrower quality, the authors find suboptimal equilibria in which short-term contracts are preferred either as a hedge against uncertainty to limit losses in bad states (in the symmetric information case) or as a screening device to learn about borrower credit quality in the course of a repeated lending relationship (in the asymmetric information case). The results of the model are supported by the econometric analysis of panel data from both industrial and developing economies. The authors find that countries with better quality of credit information (for example, as a result of improvements in credit reporting systems or accounting standards) are characterized by a higher share of long-term debt as a proportion of total corporate debt ceteris paribus. The findings suggest that promoting institutions and policies to improve the quality of credit information is an important prerequisite for increasing access of firms to long-term finance.

Download or read book Role of Debt Maturity Structure on Firm Fixed Assets During Sudden Stop Episodes Evidence from Thailand written by Hanan Morsy and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2007 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies the detrimental effect of sudden stops on the growth of Thai firms' fixed assets. We focus on the fixed assets adjustment that firms undertake at times of financial constraints. We derive our results from balance sheet data for 284 nonfinancial Thai listed firms. Our data demonstrate that Thai firms faced severe declines in the growth of their fixed assets starting in 1996. Regression results demonstrate, after controlling for firms' characteristics and lagged dependent variables, that holding longer-term debt maturity structure is the factor that works in the firms' favor during sudden stop episodes, while it is their profitability that matters during tranquil periods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We provide an empirical examination of the determinants of corporate debt maturity. Our evidence offers strong support for the contracting-cost hypothesis. Firms that have few growth options are large, or are regulated have more long-term debt in their capital structure. We find little evidence that firms use the maturity structure of their debt to signal information to the market. The evidence is consistent, however, with the hypothesis that firms with larger information asymmetries issue more short- term debt. We find no evidence that taxes affect debt maturity.
Download or read book The Role of Blockholders in the Corporate Debt Maturity Structure written by Zheyao Pan and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the impact of concentrated equity ownership (blockholders) on the corporate debt maturity structure within the framework of agency theory. Using a novel and hand-collected data set from 2000 to 2015 in Australia, we find support for our hypothesis that debt maturity is a concave function of block ownership, which is likely a reflection of the conditions of the Australian capital market. Our findings contribute to empirical evidence on the monitoring effects of blockholders and the use of debt maturity to control for debt-equity and manager-equity conflicts.
