Abstract:
This paper examines the main drivers of leverage in leveraged buyouts, and provides an explanation for the significant decrease in leverage in the aftermath of the financial crisis. We test market-varying factors by regressing leverage measures on potential drivers and find that leverage is largely driven by debt market conditions and private equity market activity. In particular, we argue that liquid debt markets impact buyout leverage more than other macro-factors, such as future view on equity markets and interest rates. Private equity market activity being a driver implies that leverage in

Abstract:
Asymmetric equity volatility is crucial for many financial applications and has in the last few decades become a focus and an important research area in empirical studies. The term leverage effect refers to the observed relationship between returns and volatility. The volatility is known to increase when the market and the stock prices experience a fall. One possible explanation for this phenomenon is based on financial leverage, where a fall in the market value of a firm’s equity makes a firm more levered, resulting in an increase in the stock return volatility. The main objective in this stu

Abstract:
Using a sample of highly (over-)leveraged Austrian ski hotels undergoing debt restructurings, we show that reducing a debt overhang leads to a significant improvement in operating performance (return on assets, net profit margin). In particular, a reduction in leverage leads to a decrease in overhead costs, wages, and input costs, and to an increase in sales. Changes in leverage in the debt restructurings are instrumented with Unexpected Snow, which captures the extent to which a ski hotel experienced unusually good or bad snow conditions prior to the debt restructuring.

Abstract:
This paper examines the main drivers of leverage levels in private equity-sponsored leveraged buyouts (LBOs). In order to find out what drives LBO leverage, we analyse deal financing of 71 European LBO deals completed between 2005 and 2015. By conducting univariate t-test and multiple regression analysis, we analyse the predictive power of a number of classical capital structure determinants (i.e. firm-specific factors) on levels of debt financing in LBOs. In addition, the state of the credit market is considered as a potential determinant of LBO leverage. We find that credit market conditions

Abstract:
The capital structure debate has been live for decades, with the key point of contention for many researchers being whether capital structure positively or negatively impacts firm value. Much of the literature on this question takes its departure from the seminal writings of Modigliani and Miller (1958) and their Theorem of Irrelevance. Many researchers have subsequently argued their case for and against the optimal value capital structure. The purpose of this research is to evaluate whether in a South African context an increase in financial leverage positively or negatively impacts firm valu

These empirical results contrast with classical asset pricing where options instead derive their value from their underlying assets. Chapter 2,

The first chapter evaluates the zero-leverage effect on firms' financial constraints. Moreover, using investment- and cash-to-cash-flow sensitivities as financial constraint indicators, the results suggest that unleveraged firms are expected to face lower constraints relative to leveraged firms. Lastly, the results indicate that the zero-leverage effect on firms’ financial constraints is more likely stronger for smaller firms, zero-dividend firms, firms with lower proportions of tangible assets, and growth firms.

The validating roles of hedging and leverage as value-adding corporate strategies arise from their beneficial manipulation of deadweight market impositions such as taxes and financial distress costs. These roles may even be symbiotic in their value-adding effects, but they are antithetic in their effects on company risk. This study's modelling analysis indicates that hedging and leverage do interact for net benefit to company value; for sensible base-case exogenous parameters, the optimal (value-maximising) joint hedging and leverage strategy increases company value by about 4.0% compared to t

A logistic regression analysis is used to examine the impact of firm-specific characteristics on a firm’s propensity to have zero leverage.

Networks are natural but powerful structures that capture relationships between different entities in many domains, such as social networks, citation networks, bioinformatic networks. In many applications that require multiple networks analysis, network alignment, the task of recognizing node correspondence across different networks, plays an important role. A wellknown application of network alignment is to identify which accounts in different social networks belong to the same person. Given the appeal of network alignment, there is a rich body of researches that aims to tackle this problem.
