| Tiivistelmä: | This paper provides new evidence on the possible sources of lessee equity value changes when leasing contracts are announced. The authors show that lessee common equity value increases significantly in sale and leasebacks and insignificantly in direct leases. The authors find support, in sale and leasebacks, for the tax- savings hypothesis and for the savings in bankruptcy costs hypothesis. The authors also find support for the hypothesis that leasing reduces the external financing costs related to adverse selection that arise in markets with asymmetric information. Finally, the authors show that lessees gain less in direct leases when they lease assets with salvage values that are sensitive to use. |
