Proximity to broad bond rating change and managerial ability

Proximity to broad bond rating change and managerial ability We examine the level of managerial ability of firms with a plus or minus specification in their bond credit ratings (i.e., firms at a proximity to broad bond rating change) because prior research suggests that these borderline firms demonstrate different behavior, relative to firms that are not near a broad bond rating change. We posit and find that such firms increase their managerial ability in the subsequent period. Our results highlight the importance of having capable managers. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png International Journal of Disclosure and Governance Springer Journals

Abstract

We examine the level of managerial ability of firms with a plus or minus specification in their bond credit ratings (i.e., firms at a proximity to broad bond rating change) because prior research suggests that these borderline firms demonstrate different behavior, relative to firms that are not near a broad bond rating change. We posit and find that such firms increase their managerial ability in the subsequent period. Our results highlight the importance of having capable managers.
