Does Asymmetric Information Drive Capital Structure Decisions?
Using a novel information asymmetry index based on measures of adverse selection developed by the market microstructure literature, we test whether information asymmetry is an important determinant of capital structure decisions, as suggested by the pecking order theory. Our index relies exclusively on measures of the market’s assessment of adverse selection risk rather than on ex ante firm cha...
متن کاملManagerial Compensation and Capital Structure under Asymmetric Information
We consider firm financing when the firm quality is private information of the manager and, given its inherent quality, the project viability depends on the manager exerting unobservable effort. We show that capital structure matters even though managerial contracts are optimally designed. Good firms would like to issue more debt to avoid selling underpricing equity. However, the interaction be...
متن کاملDisplacement, Asymmetric Information, and Heterogeneous Human Capital
Abstract In a seminal paper, Gibbons and Katz (1991) develop and empirically test an asymmetric information model of the labor market. The model predicts that wage losses following displacement should be larger for layoffs than for plant closings, which was borne out by data from the Displaced Workers Survey (DWS). In this paper, we take advantage of many more years of DWS data to examine how t...
متن کاملCapital Structure Adjustments: Do Macroeconomic and Business Risks Matter?
We empirically examine the influence of risk on firms’ capital structure adjustments. The process of adjustment is asymmetric and depends on the type of risk, its magnitude, the firm’s actual leverage with respect to its target, and its financial status. We show that firms with financial surpluses and above-target leverage adjust their leverage more rapidly when firm-specific risk is low and wh...

Moreover recent empirical literature found some regularities ove...
