Popis: | Loan tranching allows banks to manage risk and facilitate firm financing, whichmay be essential for firms that cannot access investors from stock markets. Weanalyze the determinants and benefits of loan tranching by pooling thetranches of individual loans to create the largest cross-country sample ofsyndicated loans, covering more than 150,000 loans from multinational anddomestic firms. We find that, in addition to market, deal, and borrowercharacteristics, legal and institutional differences impact loan tranching. Strongcreditor protection and efficient debt collection increase the probability oftranching and reduce tranche spreads, ultimately promoting firms’ access todebt. We also find evidence that tranching facilitates the financing ofmultinational firms abroad due to the transfer of legal and culturalinstitutions to foreign subsidiaries. Overall, our results suggest that tranchingplays an important role in reducing a country’s financial development gap andpromotes firms’ access to debt. |
