Essays in financial economics
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This thesis consists of three essays. The first essay, which is joint work with Steve Grenadier, develops a theoretical model of a firm's optimal capital structure decision in a framework in which it may later choose to enter either Chapter 11 reorganization or Chapter 7 liquidation. In the second essay, which is joint work with Darrell Duffie, we show in the context of a theoretical model that the now-common practice of size discovery detracts from overall financial market efficiency. In the third essay, I show that creditors lose billions of dollars every year because firms that should emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy are frequently liquidated instead
