Addressing the joint determination of leverage and debt maturity, we use simultaneous-system-of-equations models instead of ordinary-least-squares regression. The evidence shows that the relation between asset liquidity and leverage is positive, but the significances on debt maturity disappear. Next, the asset liquidity negatively affects leverage under unsecure debt, but the negative effect is mitigated by short-term debt, which indicates that the firm could reduce the agency problem by short-term debt. Finally, this mitigating role of short-term debt is further shown to be more effective during financial crisis and for firms with poor performance because the short-term debt could help debtholder flexibly monitor manager’s behavior, which adding new evidence that short-term debt help resolve the agency conflicts facing unsecured debtholders. 黃泓人 周賓凰 2017 學位論文 ; thesis 58 en_US |
