Wer
Peter McAdam
Wo
IWH conference room

Wo
IWH conference room

This paper analyzes the effect of financial constraints on firms’ corporate social responsibility. Exploiting heterogeneity in firms’ exposure to a monetary policy shock in the U.S., which reduced financial constraints for some firms, I find that firms increase their environmental responsibility.

Debtholder Monitoring and Earnings Opacity

Wer
Klaus Schäck (University of Bristol)
Wo
IWH conference room

We show that debtholder monitoring reduces earnings opacity. Using a natural experiment in the U.S. banking industry that subordinates junior creditors’ claims, we find that exposing junior creditors to greater losses in bankruptcy significantly reduces earnings opacity.

Wer
Thorsten Martin (Bocconi University)
Wo
