TitleCreditor Control Rights and Crash Risk

 

AbstractWe investigate how creditors’ control rights affect borrowers’ crash risk. Relying on the identification strategy of regression discontinuity design (RDD), our findings reveal that borrowers’ crash risk declines significantly once banks obtain additional control rights upon covenant violations. Further analyses imply that the reduction in borrowers’ crash risk is more pronounced when the monitoring cost is lower, and when banks recognize loan losses in a timelier manner. Finally, we find a stronger crash-risk reducing effect of creditor control rights on more highly leveraged and more informationally opaque borrowers. Overall, banks play an important governance role in mitigating managerial bad news hoarding and overinvestment, thereby reducing crash risk.
