Maturity and Repayment Structure of Sovereign Debt [PDF]

open access: possible, 2014
This paper studies the maturity, timing and relative size of repayments for sovereign debt. Using Bloomberg bond data for emerging economies, we document that sovereigns issue debt with shorter maturity but more back-loaded repayments during downturns. To account for this pattern, we study a sovereign-default model of a small open economy which issues ...

Debt Maturity Structure and Liquidity Risk

The Quarterly Journal of Economics, 1991
This paper analyzes debt maturity structure for borrowers with private information about their future credit rating. Borrowers' projects provide them with rents that they cannot assign to lenders. The optimal maturity structure trades off a preference for short maturity due to expecting their credit rating to improve, against liquidity risk.

Union Power and the Debt Maturity Structure

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2016
How do powerful unions affect firms' debt maturity structure? I find that firms increase the fraction of long term debt as a response to unionization while keeping their leverage ratio unchanged. Using a regression discontinuity design I estimate that unionized firms increase by 25% the fraction of long-term debt as compared to union-free firms.

Debt Maturity Structure and Liquidity Shocks

2019
We analyze the role of a firm's debt maturity structure when refinancing its debt after a liquidity shock that reduces the firm's cash flow. Staggered debt diminishes the share of outstanding debt that a firm has to refinance at any given time, which should be most beneficial for highly levered firms.

The Maturity Structure of Private Placements of Debt

2017
Abstract We examine the maturity structure in private placements of debt and relate it to contracting, signaling, tax, and liquidity risk considerations for firms. We find that firms with higher tax rates issue private placements of debt with longer maturities, consistent with the tax hypothesis.

Leverage and Optimal Debt Maturity Structure

2016
The paper studies optimal debt maturity structure and focuses on two questions: whether firms of different leverages can increase firm values by exploiting short-term and long-terms bonds and/or by dispersing debt maturity dates. The calibrated model shows that it is optimal for low leverage firms to use long-term bonds exclusively but for high ...

Firm structure and corporate debt maturity

2012
This thesis examines whether or the extent to which diversified firms (firms with more segments) borrow shorter-term debt relative to focused firms (a single segment firm). Collectively, we hypothesize that diversified firms are more capable and willing to borrow shorter-term debt because they have imperfectly correlated cash flows, higher liquidation ...
