Managerial Stock Ownership and the Maturity Structure of Corporate Debt
发现管理层持股比例越高,公司债务期限越短,且这一关系在考虑信用质量和增长机会后依然稳健。
ABSTRACT This study documents that managerial stock ownership plays an important role in determining corporate debt maturity. Controlling for previously identified determinants of debt maturity and modeling leverage and debt maturity as jointly endogenous, we document a significant and robust inverse relation between managerial stock ownership and corporate debt maturity. We also show that managerial stock ownership influences the relation between credit quality and debt maturity and between growth opportunities and debt maturity.
