摘要:
This paper examines
how external governance pressure provided by both the product market and the
market for corporate control affects the type of debt that firms issue. Consistent
with a governance substitution effect, we find that (i) an exogenous increase
in governance pressure from the product market has a significant negative
impact on the use of bank financing over public debt issuance, and (ii) an
exogenous decrease in governance pressure from the takeover market has a significant
positive impact on the use of bank financing. Tests using changes in the
strictness of loan covenants provides corroborative evidence. Also consistent
with bank “specialness” in providing governance, w. We interpret these findings
as consistent with the notion that firms endogenously substitute among
alternative governance mechanisms in devising a governance structure that
allows external capital to be raised at the lowest possible cost and that
demand for creditor governance depends on the relative strength of alternative external
governance mechanisms.
