Does Share Repurchase Affect the Financing Cost of Corporate Debt?

本文研究了股份回购对公司债务融资成本的影响。研究结果表明:股份回购有助于降低公司的债务融资成本,其作用机制在于股份回购能够降低公司的盈余管理程度、提高其会计稳健性;与此同时,股份回购对公司债务融资成本的降低效应在代理成本较高的公司中更为突出,说明股份回购影响公司债务融资成本的主要途径是降低公司的信息风险以及债务代理风险。进一步研究表明:在市场化程度较低、非国有的公司中,股份回购降低其债务融资成本的效应更为明显;排除货币政策、股权再融资的影响后,股份回购依然能够显著降低公司的债务融资成本。股份回购作为一种有效的资本运作方式能够帮助企业更容易获得外部债务融资,这为我国上市公司特别是融资难、融资贵的公司在进行债务融资决策时提供了重要的参考。
