To Call Of Not To Call Convertible Debt, Louis H. Ederington, Gary L. Caton, Cynthia J. Campbell Jan 1997

To Call Of Not To Call Convertible Debt, Louis H. Ederington, Gary L. Caton, Cynthia J. Campbell

Cynthia J. Campbell

This paper tests various theories of the decision on when to call in-the-money convertible bonds by following newly issued convertible bonds over the first ten years of their life and relating the decision to call or not call at each point to the determining characteristics implied by each theory.

Stakeholder Theory And A Principle Of Fairness, Robert Phillips

Robert Phillips

Recent decades have witnessed an increase in the number and quality of discussions concerning the corporation’s obligations to other groups other than its share owners.
