| Abstract: | It is investigated how an established borrowing relationship affects the costs associated with initial public offerings (IPO) of equity. The model illustrates how the existence of a borrowing relationship reduces the ex ante uncertainty about the value of the issuing firm's equity in the secondary market. If underpricing is related to uncertainty, a borrowing relationship can reduce underpricing. Empirically it was found that, other things equal, IPOs of firms with previously established borrowing relationships are underpriced substantially less than other IPOs. |
