The paper aims to combine balance sheet analysis at the firm level with the International Monetary Fund's public debt sustainability assessment framework to assess state-owned enterprises' (SOE) leverage as a contingent liability to the public sector. Based on company data and the interest coverage ratio as a measure of debt at risk, aggregate baseline scenarios are projected to gauge the magnitude of SOE debt as a contingency. SOE's financial and debt ratios are first bootstrapped to generate firm-level distributions and then averaged into a fan chart of the economy-wide SOE contingent liability. Applied to the People's Republic of China as an example, the study finds that by the end of 2015 SOE leverage had grown to a substantial liability. However arbitrary the assumptions underlying these projections, it would appear that even if authorities had to mop up as much as 20% of SOE debt at risk gone bad, this would have been manageable at roughly 2.7% of the gross domestic product in 2016 or 5.5% by 2021. This projection framework is fully amenable to alternative assumptions and settings, which makes it a useful analytical tool to monitor contingent liabilities from non-financial corporate debt that have been building in emerging and advanced economies alike.

This study examines the relationship between debt maturity structure and bankruptcy risk. There are various studies of leverage's effect on bankruptcy risk. Debt maturity, however, has not received the attention it deserves, especially in emerging markets with a high degree of information asymmetry. Using Vietnamese listed company data and various estimations, we find that leverage is positively associated with the likelihood of default. Importantly, short-term leverage shows a significantly positive effect on bankruptcy risk, while long-term leverage does not show significant results. The findings highlight that rollover risk firms are exposed to when using short-term debt increases bankruptcy risk. Meanwhile, firms do not cope with this risk in case of long-term debt adoption. High information asymmetry in emerging markets may be the main reason for the difference. The result is robust for subsamples of firms in different financial conditions, in concentrated and competitive industries, as well as for manufacturing and non-manufacturing companies. We also find that firms in a better financial situation and concentrated industries experience a higher short-term leverage effect than their counterparts. We, however, do not find a significant difference in the impact between manufacturing and non-manufacturing companies. This paper is among the first to examine the relation between debt maturity and bankruptcy risk in Vietnam.

This paper investigates the effectiveness of public credit guarantee programs and interest-support programs for SMEs (small and medium enterprises). First, assuming that there is an imperfect information structure in the SME loan market, we analyze how SME support financial programs affect the corporate decisions made by SMEs with regard to default or loan sizes. In addition, this paper theoretically computes the optimal levels of credit guarantee amounts and the interest-support spread under equilibrium with imperfect information in a competitive loan market. Second, the paper empirically analyzes the continuous policy-treatment effect with the GPS (generalized propensity score) method. In particular, we consider the ratio of guaranteed debt to the total debt as a continuous policy treatment. The empirical results show that marginal effects of a credit guarantee on SMEs' productivity, profitability, and growth potential decrease with the ratio of guaranteed debt to the total debt. In addition, the average effect of a credit guarantee is maximized when this ratio is at 50% to 60%.

This study examines the relationship between board characteristics and capital structure. Data was collected from the annual reports of listed companies in the Stock Exchange of Thailand, from 2015 to 2017, which totaled 1,264 firm-year observations. The study uses multiple regression analysis to analyses the data by using independent variables, including board size, outside directors, managerial ownership, CEO duality, frequency of board meetings, board experience, and gender to measure board characteristics and the total debt ratio for capital structure. Research findings show that the more independent the directors are, the lower the cost of debt financing is, as they control the management team more strictly about debt financing than directors with less independence do. Additionally, the results reveal that the higher the percentage of managerial ownership, the higher the level of leverage and debt financing, whereas board size and board meetings have a negative relationship to capital structure. Further research showed that firm size, growth opportunities and corporate governance rating all had a positive significant impact on capital structure. The findings of this study suggest that the presence of proper corporate governance leads to better funding mechanisms as it ensures that the company is in a better position to obtain external funding.

본 연구에서는 기업구조조정의 세부수단을 계량화하고 각 수단과 워크아웃기업의 회생 여부 간에 유의적인 관계가 존재하는지를 확인하였다. 실증분석을 실시한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 채권자 및 채무자 관점 모두에서 워크아웃을 신청할 당시 기업의 채무구조가 동 기업의 회생 여부에 매우 유의적인 영향을 미친 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 대부분의 부채조정수단이 워크아웃기업에 큰 영향이 없었던 가운데 이 중 출자전환이 비교적 유효한 구조조정 수단인 것으로 분석되었다. 셋째, 자구노력, 고용조정, 그리고 경영진 및 지배구조 교체는 워크아웃기업의 회생 여부에 미친 유의성이 낮았다. 워크아웃기업이 회생하는 데 있어서 세부적인 기업구조조정수단, 즉 채무재조정, 자구노력, 고용조정, 지배구조개선 등보다는 워크아웃 신청 당시 기업의 채무구조가 중요하였다는 측면에서 우리나라의 워크아웃은 기업구조조정을 통한 효율적인 자원배분보다는 채권회수율을 제고하려는 채권자와 금융위기를 극복하려는 정책당국자의 유인구조에 충실하였던 제도라고 평가할 수 있다.

본 연구는 독특한 기업 지배구조 형태가 대리인비용을 완화시켜 차입비용을 감소시킬 수 있는지에 대해 실증 분석하였다. 지배대주주가 존재하는 가족기업은 그렇지 않은 기업에 비해 위험회피 경영과 기업의 성과와 명성 중시 및 기업의 장기 존속 등의 면에서 채권자들과 이해가 일치되어 부채의 대리인비용이 완화될 수 있다고 주장되었다. 본 연구에서 지배 대주주 지분율 및 외국인투자자 지분율 등 기업 지배구조와 차입비용 사이의 관계에 대한 실증 분석결과, 지배대주주 지분율과 외국인투자자 지분율은 차입비용에 대해 2008년 금융위기 이전에는 계수추정치가 유의적이지 못하였으나 2008년 금융위기 이후에는 계수추정치가 유의적으로 나타났다. 2008년 금융위기가 극복된 이후에, 지배대주주 지분율은 차입비용과 음의 유의적인 계수추정치를 보여 기업 지배구조에서 가족 지배대주주의 존재는 차입비용을 감소시키는데 크게 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 외국인투자자 지분율은 차입비용과 양의 유의적인 계수추정치를 보여, 오히려 차입비용을 증가시키고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해, 지배대주주 지분율이나 외국인투자자 지분율 같은 기업의 지배구조 형태가 기업의 차입비용과 신용위험에 미치는 영향은 체계적이며 계량적으로 유의적으로 나타나고 있으며, 취약한 지배구조는 주주들에게 부정적인 영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라, 기업의 경제적 가치를 하락시켜 채권자들에게도 불리한 영향을 줄 수 있다는 것이 확인된 것이다.

Tax exhaustion effect hypothesis says that firms with low expected marginal tax rates on their interest deductions employ less debt in their capital structure. We use logit analysis to study how financing decision is related to tax after controlling non tax effects. We treat non debt tax shields as proxy of marginal corporate tax rates which affect the probability of using the deductibility of debt tax shields and empirically test the tax effect on financing decision in Korea. In conclusion, we provide evidence that debt financing is positively related to tax in the former sub-period. This results partially support for tax exhaustion effect hypothesis and low tax rate firms have lower debt levels than high tax rate firms.

This study examines whether Korean rating agencies such as Korea Investors Service (KIS), National Information & Credit Evaluation (NICE), and Korea Ratings Corporation (KR), incorporate corporate governance into their corporate bond ratings in Korea. We find that the Korean rating agencies assign higher ratings to the bonds issued by Chaebol (Korean business group) affiliated firms. Our results also indicate that those rating agencies give higher ratings to the bonds with greater foreign investor share ownership. Moreover, if the rating agencies value corporate governance, higher rated firms should issue bonds at lower yield to maturity. We discover that Chaebol affiliation is counted favorably by the rating agencies. We find that investors are willing to pay lower risk premium for bonds with higher institutional ownership, but higher risk premium to bonds with greater equity ownership in the form of depository receipts. Therefore, even if the rating agencies and investors in Korea consider corporate governance (Chaebol affiliation and ownership structure) an important determinant in bond ratings and the yields to maturity, they have opposite views on institutional ownership and share ownership in the form of depository receipts.

The purpose of this study is to propose policy implications for improving the efficiency of corporate income tax management in Vietnam, by analyzing the study factors affecting the efficiency of corporate income tax management (evidence from Mekong Delta provinces, Vietnam). This study used a primary data collection method and collected data of 329 enterprises, including 49 joint-stock companies and 280 limited liability companies in 3 provinces - Tra Vinh province, Soc Trang province, and Ben Tre province. By using the binary regression method, the author discovered eight factors affecting the efficiency of corporate income tax management in the Mekong Delta region such as the time of operation of the enterprises, type of business, gender, business results, tax amount temporarily paid, compliance with tax policies, business scale, and tax debt ratio. From the above research results, the author proposes policies to support Tax Departments to improve the efficiency of corporate income tax management in the Mekong Delta region in the future. These policies include - for further promoting the tax policy propaganda to enterprises, tax authorities need to promptly handle tax arrears, enhance the inspection of tax debt enterprises, and focus on the business models, gender, age of the business owners, etc.
