CEO's home mortgage explains firm's
use of debt, according to study
|
Anil Makhija
If you want to know how much debt a
corporation is willing to take on, take a look at the CEO’s
personal finances, according to a study co-authored by Anil
Makhija, Rismiller Professor of Finance.
The study finds that corporations with higher levels of debt tend to
have CEOs who also owe more on their own homes. Firms whose CEOs have
home mortgages have about 4 percentage points more debt than do firms
whose CEOs do not take out a mortgage to finance their primary
personal residences. The results suggest that the personal attitudes
of CEOs toward debt have a strong effect on their firms’
financial decisions.
