The aftermath of covenant violations: Evidence from China's corporate debt securities
We document a sharp and persistent decline in bond issuances following covenant violations also called technical defaults. However, we find no evidence that firms’ investment and performance change after technical defaults. Furthermore, we document that most of the technical defaults are waived off by bondholders through the debenture holders’ meetings. Although covenants serve as tripwires for renegotiation between bond issuers and investors, control rights are rarely transferred from shareholders to bond investors following technical defaults.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Empirical Finance is a financial economics journal whose aim is to publish high quality articles in empirical finance. Empirical finance is interpreted broadly to include any type of empirical work in financial economics, financial econometrics, and also theoretical work with clear empirical implications, even when there is no empirical analysis. The Journal welcomes articles in all fields of finance, such as asset pricing, corporate finance, financial econometrics, banking, international finance, microstructure, behavioural finance, etc. The Editorial Team is willing to take risks on innovative research, controversial papers, and unusual approaches. We are also particularly interested in work produced by young scholars. The composition of the editorial board reflects such goals.
