| Abstract: | This paper examines whether sharp debt increases through leveraged buyouts and recapitalizations interact with market structure to influence plant closing and investment decisions of recapitalizing firms and their rivals. The fact that recapitalizations and investment decisions are both endogenous and may be simultaneously influenced by the same exogenous events is taken into account. Firms in industries with high concentration are more likely to close plants and less likely to invest, and rival firms are less likely to close plants and more likely to invest when leveraged firms' market share is higher. |
