摘要 | Little is known on whether financial factors influence firms’ vulnerability to uncertainty shocks. We show that access to debt markets mitigates the effects of uncertainty on corporate policies. We use the staggered introduction of anti-recharacterization laws in U.S. states—which strengthened creditors’ rights to repossess collateral pledged through SPVs—to identify firms’ improved access to debt markets. After the passage of the laws, firms that face more uncertainty hoard less cash, and increase leverage and intangible investment. Firms’ vulnerability to uncertainty shocks is reduced by the enhanced ability to issue debt through SPVs. |
