講題: Counterparty Risk and Capital Structure
Abstract:
The 2007-2009 ?financial crisis and recession highlighted the role of counterparty risk in
financial contracts, many once thought immune to such problems. However, counterparty
risk can be signi?ficant in a wide variety of contracting situations and can impact capital
structure decisions. Within this context, we present a new model that endogenizes the
capital structure of both parties to a contract. We follow Grenadier (1996) and Leland
and Toft (1996) to examine the interaction between ?rm capital structures and equilibrium
contract pricing. Moreover, our model demonstrates that consideration of credit risk is
instrumental to con?rm the complementarity between lease and debt as suggested by Lewis
and Schallheim (1992).
