Household Debt and Consumption Inequality: The Spanish Case
The aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, we attempt to find out whether Spanish households took part in a process of substituting loans for wages during the period before the beginning of the current economic crisis. On the other hand, we try to identify the consequences of such process in the evolution of income and consumption inequalities. The theoretical framework to deal with the...
متن کاملGranularity of Corporate Debt∗
We study whether firms spread out debt maturity dates, which we call “granularity of corporate debt.” In our model, firms that are unable to roll over expiring debt need to liquidate assets. If multiple small asset sales are less inefficient than a single large one, it can be optimal to diversify debt rollovers across time. Using a large sample of corporate bond issuers during the 1991–2012 per...
متن کاملInequality, debt and growth
Foreword Like most economists, I internalised very early on in my career the concept of the "equity-efficiency tradeoff"; the idea that policy measures, such as progressive taxation or means-tested welfare benefits, that reduced income inequality would, because of their negative impact on incentives, be likely to reduce labour supply, effort and ultimately economic growth. At a theoretical leve...

Agency theory in modern corporate finance suggests the presence of a conflict of interest between managers and shareholders. Prior theoretical and empirical research has identified leverage as an important mechanism that is likely to mitigate agency costs. Although debt plays a central role in mitigating corporate agency conflicts, relatively few studies have examined the implications that aris...
متن کاملCorporate Debt Maturity Profiles ∗
We study a novel aspect of a firm’s capital structure, namely the profile of its debt maturity dates. In a simple theoretical framework we show that the dispersion of debt maturities constitutes an important dimension of capital structure choice, driven by firm characteristics and debt rollover risk. Guided by these results we establish two main empirical results. First, using an exogenous shoc...
