The Determinants of Underpricing for Seasoned Equity OffersJournal of Finance - Tập 58 Số 5 - Trang 2249-2279 - 2003
Shane A. Corwin
AbstractSeasoned offers were underpriced by an average of 2.2 percent during the 1980s and 1990s, with the discount increasing substantially over time. The increase appears to be related to Rule 10b‐21 and to economic changes affecting both IPOs and SEOs. Consistent with temporary price pressure, underpricing is positively related to offer size especially for secur...... hiện toàn bộ
Do Peer Firms Affect Corporate Financial Policy?Journal of Finance - Tập 69 Số 1 - Trang 139-178 - 2014
Mark T. Leary, Michael R. Roberts
ABSTRACTWe show that peer firms play an important role in determining corporate capital structures and financial policies. In large part, firms' financing decisions are responses to the financing decisions and, to a lesser extent, the characteristics of peer firms. These peer effects are more important for capital structure determination than most previously identi...... hiện toàn bộ

Marshall E. Blume, Donald B. Keim, Sandeep A. Patel
ABSTRACTThis paper examines the risks and returns of long‐term low‐grade bonds for the period 1977–1989. We find: (1) low‐grade bonds realized higher returns than higher‐grade bonds and lower returns than common stocks, and low‐grade bonds exhibited less volatility than higher‐grade bonds due to their call features and high coupons; (2) there is no relation between...... hiện toàn bộ
The Determinants of Credit Spread ChangesJournal of Finance - Tập 56 Số 6 - Trang 2177-2207 - 2001
Pierre Collin-Dufresn, Robert S. Goldstein, J. Spencer Martin
ABSTRACTUsing dealer's quotes and transactions prices on straight industrial bonds, we investigate the determinants of credit spread changes. Variables that should in theory determine credit spread changes have rather limited explanatory power. Further, the residuals from this regression are highly cross‐correlated, and principal components analysis implies they ar...... hiện toàn bộ
Liquidity Coinsurance, Moral Hazard, and Financial ContagionJournal of Finance - Tập 62 Số 5 - Trang 2275-2302 - 2007
Sandro Brusco, Fabio Castiglionesi
ABSTRACTWe study the propagation of financial crises among regions in which banks are protected by limited liability and may take excessive risk. The regions are affected by negatively correlated liquidity shocks, so liquidity coinsurance is Pareto improving. The moral hazard problem can be solved if banks are sufficiently capitalized. Under autarky a limited amoun...... hiện toàn bộ
