摘要

本文研究了在巴西这样一个债权不良的环境下,契约如何影响资本结构调整的速度。与之前发达国家的证据不同,我们发现债务契约的存在使仅在国内上市的公司的资本结构调整速度提高了20%以上。对于在美国交叉上市的公司来说,这种影响较小(如果有的话),可能是因为这些公司“束缚”在美国市场更严格的监管和债权人保护之下。我们的研究结果表明,在债权人保护不力的新兴市场,契约是强大债权人权利的不完美替代品,并被用作一种信号装置,允许公司更快地将杠杆调整到最佳水平。

The signaling role of covenants and the speed of capital structure adjustment under poor creditor rights: Evidence from domestically and cross-listed firms in Brazil

This paper studies how covenants affect the speed of capital structure adjustment in Brazil, an environment with poor creditor rights. Unlike previous evidence for developed countries, we find that the existence of debt covenants increases the speed of capital structure adjustment by more than 20% for firms that are only domestically listed. For firms that are cross-listed in the US, this effect is smaller (if any), possibly because these firms “bond” to the stricter regulation and creditor protection of the US market. Our results suggest that in emerging markets with poor creditor protection, covenants are an imperfect substitute for strong creditor rights and employed as a signaling device, permitting firms to adjust their leverage towards optimal levels quicker.

期刊介绍: International trade, financing and investments have grown at an extremely rapid pace in recent years, and the operations of corporations have become increasingly multinationalized. Corporate executives buying and selling goods and services, and making financing and investment decisions across national boundaries, have developed policies and procedures for managing cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. These policies and procedures, and the related managerial actions of executives, change as new relevant information becomes available. The purpose of the Journal of Multinational Financial Management is to publish rigorous, original articles dealing with the management of the multinational enterprise. Theoretical, conceptual, and empirical papers providing meaningful insights into the subject areas will be considered. The following topic areas, although not exhaustive, are representative of the coverage in this Journal. • Foreign exchange risk management • International capital budgeting • Forecasting exchange rates • Foreign direct investment • Hedging strategies • Cost of capital • Managing transaction exposure • Political risk assessment • International working capital management • International financial planning • International tax management • International diversification • Transfer pricing strategies • International liability management • International mergers.
