الملخص | This study examines whether labor unemployment risk affects the choice of debt source. Specifically, we examine whether US unemployment insurance (UI) benefits, which reduce unemployment risk, lead to a heavy reliance on bank debt. Through difference-in-difference analysis, we find that firms in states with generous UI benefits tend to rely more on bank debt, supporting the monitoring avoidance channel. This finding is robust to a battery of robustness tests. We also find that the positive relationship between UI benefits and bank debt ratio is more pronounced in firms from highly unionized states, labor-intensive firms, and firms with higher asset substitution risk. Finally, we find that debt maturity (security) decreases (increases) when UI benefits increase. - 2019 Elsevier B.V. |
