      By: Malcolm Baker and Jeffrey Wurgler
      Traditional capital structure theory predicts that reducing banks' leverage reduces the risk and cost of equity but does not change the weighted average cost of capital, and thus the rates for borrowers. We confirm that the equity of better-capitalized banks has lower... View Details

      By: Stuart Gilson, Edith Hotchkiss and Matthew Osborn
