Book Description
When firms want to raise external financing, why do they resort to contracts with fixed repayment, i.e., standard debt contracts? The canonical work of Gale and Hellwig (Rev Econ Stud, 52(4):647-663, 1985) gives the following answer to this question: Assuming that only the entrepreneur can observe the project's outcome free of charge, the standard debt contract proves to be an incentive-compatible financing design. However, this approach remains inadequate, as neither the lender nor the borrower is given the possibility to act strategically. The paper at hand takes up this aspect. By means of a simple game-theoretic model and focusing on a binary outcome setting, it is shown that every risky standard debt contract is dominated by at least one ownership contract. In this respect, costly state verification cannot act as a raison d'être of contracts with fixed repayment.
