Do or Die: Analysis of Bankruptcy Risk from a Research and Development Perspective
ABSTRACT Arguably, R&D remains one of the main drivers for signaling, and its essence in reducing bankruptcy risk (BR) is critical. We revisit the literature and debate and find that since 1982, R&D investment has, on average, been increasing at an annual rate of 0.033%, while BR has been decreasing at an annual rate of 9.02%. Empirically, we find consistent evidence that R&D investment reduces BR. Also, firms with a higher likelihood of bankruptcy have a higher marginal benefit from incremental investment in R&D. Additional results suggest that capital structure and other signaling strategies matter in how R&D affects BR.
