Flexible prices and leverage
D'Acunto, Francesco; Liu, Ryan; Pflueger, Carolin; … - 2017
The frequency with which firms adjust output prices helps explain persistent differences in capital structure across firms. Unconditionally, the most exible-price firms have a 19% higher long-term leverage ratio than the most sticky-price firms, controlling for known determinants of capital...

Equilibrium theory of banks' capital structure
Gale, Douglas; Gottardi, Piero - 2017
We study an environment where the capital structure of banks and firms are jointly determined in equilibrium, so as to balance the benefits of the provision of liquidity services by bank deposits with the costs of bankruptcy. The risk in the assets held by firms and banks is determined by the...

Business tax policy under default risk
Comincioli, Nicola; Vergalli, Sergio; Panteghini, Paolo - 2019
In this article we use a stochastic model with one representative firm to study business tax policy under default risk. We will show that, for a given tax rate, the government has an incentive to reduce (increase) financial instability and default costs if its objective function is welfare (tax...

Debt recovery in firm liquidations : do liquidation trustees matter?
Cepec, Jaka; Grajzl, Peter; Zajc, Katarina - 2016
Insolvency systems play a crucial role in protection of creditor rights, yet micro-level empirical evidence on the … functioning of insolvency regimes worldwide is sparse. We investigate whether creditors' recovery of outstanding claims, a measure … of ex-post efficiency of an insolvency regime, depends on the characteristics of the trustee delegated the administration …

Low inflation : high default risk AND high equity valuations
Bhamra, Harjoat Singh; Dorion, Christian; Jeanneret, … - 2018
We develop an asset-pricing model with endogenous corporate policies that explains how inflation jointly impacts real asset prices and corporate default risk. Our model includes two empirically grounded nominal frictions: fixed nominal coupons and sticky profitability. Taken together, these two...

Accelerated depreciation, default risk and investment decisions
Panteghini, Paolo; Vergalli, Sergio - 2016
In this article we focus on a representative firm that can decide when to invest under default risk. On the one hand, this firm can benefit from generous tax depreciation allowances, on the other hand it faces a default risk. Our aim is to study the effects of tax depreciation allowances in a...

Corporate taxation and financial strategies under asymmetric information
Cohen, Francesco; Fedele, Alessandro; Panteghini, Paolo - 2014
In this article we study the corporate tax effects on credit market equilibria. In particular, we develop a model that accounts for five pieces of evidence: i) the existence of a tax incentive to borrow, ii) the negative relationship between leverage and profitability, iii) the existence of...

Microeconometric evidence of financing frictions and innovative activity
Tiwari, Amaresh K.; Mohnen, Pierre A.; Palm, Franz C.; … - 2014
Using Dutch data we empirically investigate how financing and innovation vary across firm characteristics. We find that when firms face financial constraints, debt financing and innovation choices are not independent of firm characteristics, and R&D slows down. In the absence of financial...

Debt shifting and transfer pricing in a volatile world
Comincioli, Nicola; Panteghini, Paolo; Vergalli, Sergio - 2020
In this article we introduce a stochastic model with a multinational company (MNC) that exploits tax avoidance practices. We focus on both transfer pricing (TP) and debt shifting (DS) activities and show how their optimal level is chosen by the shareholders. In addition, we perform an extensive...

Deferred taxation under default Risk
Carini, Cristian; Moretto, Michele; Panteghini, Paolo; … - 2018
In this article, we have used a continuous EBIT-based model to study deferred taxation under default risk. Quite surprisingly, default risk has been disregarded in research on deferred taxation. In order to underline its importance, we first calculated the probability of default, over a given...
