Abstract: | The authors investigate the choice of risky debt maturity structure in a sequential game framework. It is assumed that there are no transaction costs with the choice of the debt maturity structure. It is proven that for time- invariant firm value changes both short- and long-term debt pooling are Nash sequential equilibrium outcomes. However, only the first one satisfies the universal divinity refinement. |
