中文摘要
本文旨在研究信用評等轉移對最適化資本結構決策之影響。本文提出之模型考量兩種信評管理相關之實證行為:信評相依浮動票息條款、目標最小評等政策。其研究結果呈現:在常態的發行評等情況下,相較於標準附息債券而言,公司發行信評相依浮動附息債券可獲取較多的稅盾利益且相對應之最適槓桿比率也較高。再者,本文還發現目標最小評等政策導致公司槓桿產生均數復歸現象。當公司被迫降等到目標最小評等之下,經理人為將其調升回期初目標評等會產生過度附買回之行為。
Abstract
This paper examines the impact of credit rating migration in determining optimal capital structure. The models we propose capture empirical behavior in two ways; the behavior of linking firm’s rating to the promised coupons and the behavior of targeting minimum rating. We find that as long as the rating at issuing time is not too low, tax shields of the rating-linked coupon debt are larger than those of standard debt with the same par, and hence, optimal leverage usage of the firm with the rating- linked coupon scheme is greater. Further, we also show that the behavior of targeting a minimum rating causes mean-reverting leverage dynamics. Managers are appeared to make over-repurchase choices for adjusting the current rating back to the initial target following a downgrade from target minimum rating.
