Firm Age and the Evolution of Borrowing Costs: Evidence from Japanese Small Firms
This paper investigates how a firm’s borrowing cost evolves as it ages. Using a new data set of more than 200,000 bank-dependent small firms for 1997-2002, we find the following. First, the distribution of borrowing costs tends to become less skewed to the right over time, which can be partially attributed to “selection” (i.e., exits of defaulting firms reduce the total borrowing costs), but is...

In particular, the government cannot generate full compliance by setting the expected value of cheating to be negative. Also, it is possible for the government to set penalties in a way ...
