摘要:

根据已有的文献,作为公司内部治理核心的董事会与资本结构在控制代理成本方面可以互相替代或互相补充;债务,作为资本结构的一部分,特别是短期债务对上市公司的管理者有潜在的约束作用。在此前提下,运用中国上市公司的数据研究了上市公司董事会治理特征对资本结构选择的影响。从董事会独立性、规模、董事会活动、领导权结构、董事持股以及审计委员会设置六个方面来衡量董事会治理特征,实证结果表明:董事会治理对债务杠杆的选择有显著影响,对债务期限选择的影响则并不显著。

Abstract:

Debt,and in particular, shortterm debt have the potential to discipline managersThis study examines the role of corporate board in making financing decisions that provide this disciplineSpecifically, we predict that stronger boards will force the firm to hold more debt and more shortterm debtEmploying a rich dataset of board characteristics and controlling for previously identified determinants of leverage and debt maturity, we model leverage and debt maturity as jointly endogenousWe find certain support for these hypotheses

Key words: corporate boards, leverage;debt maturity, listed companies
