Default Risk, Asset Pricing and Debt Control
The pricing and control of firms’ debt has become a major issue since Merton’s (1974) seminal paper.

However, when using debt finance firms may have to pay a premium for an idiosyncratic default risk and may face debt constraints. We demonstrate that firm specific debt c...
متن کاملDefault Risk, Asset Pricing and Equity Premium∗
The evaluation and control of an agent‘s debt has become a major issue in economics. In this paper we focus on firms and study credit risk, debt control and asset valuation of firms.

In order to exp...

We develop a general equilibrium model linking the pricing of stocks and corporate bonds to endogenous movements in corporate leverage and aggregate volatility. The model has heterogeneous firms making optimal investment and financing decisions and connects fluctuations in macroeconomic quantities and asset prices to movements in the cross-section of firms. Empirically plausible movements in le...
