讲座内容摘要:
An efficient bankruptcy system plays a crucial role in creditor protection and credit market development. In this paper, we find that the introduction of specialized bankruptcy courts, which are run by better-trained judges and subject to less government intervention, reduces the cost of bond financing by around 10%, and the effect is stronger when theex antedefault risk is higher. By exploring bankruptcy filings associated with bond defaults, we show that the strengthening of creditor protection increases bondholders’ recovery values and shortens the time firms spend in bankruptcy proceedings, which pass-through lower bond spreads. A back-of-the-envelope calculation indicates total savings of 2.5 billion dollars per year in interest payments for Chinese corporate bond issuers.
有效的破产制度在债权人保护和信贷市场发展中发挥着至关重要的作用。在本文中我们发现,引入专门的破产法院,政府干预较少,可以将债券融资成本降低约10%,并且当事前违约风险较高时,效果更强。通过探索与债券违约相关的破产申请,我们发现债权人保护的加强提高了债券持有人的回收价值,缩短了公司在破产程序中花费的时间,而破产程序通过较低的债券息差进行。
