This paper examines the hitherto unexplored effect of lease intensity on hedging. Using a sample of 218 small and large non-financial firms drawn from 2006 to 2010, we find that firms leasing more of their Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) use less financial derivatives, consistent with the theoretical predictions of Rampini and Viswanathan (2010). Further, using broad market microstructure based measures of information asymmetry, we offer empirical evidence consistent with theory that firms with higher information asymmetry hedge more. These results are robust to several alternative measurements of key variables, different regression specifications, estimation techniques and corrections for endogeneity.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the problem of bank information monopoly using detailed information on the debt structure of 47 Tunisian non-financial firms over the 1998-2003 period. We find that bank debt is negatively related to agency costs of moral hazard and adverse selection. We argue that there is a potential hold-up problem leading firms that are exposed to information asymmetry to limit bank financing in order to avoid rent extraction from banks. Further, our results suggest that this hold-up problem can be resolved either by issuing public debt or by bank equity participation.

PurposeThe governing role of bank-appointed directors (BADs) on the boards of non-financial firms has a potential to reduce information asymmetry between the firm and non-bank lenders. This should increase the confidence of other creditors in firm activities, thus performing the certification role. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the certification role of BADs.Design/methodology/approachThe authors test their hypotheses by using a panel of Indian non-financial firms. Our approach involves examining whether there is a significant difference in the number of different debt sources, the dispersion of debt among different debt sources, and leverage for BAD and Non_BAD Firms. The authors use univariate analysis and multivariate regression models to test the difference.FindingsThe authors find that firms with BADs on their board have (1) access to a higher number of different debt sources, (2) debt distributed evenly among different sources and (3) a higher debt ratio. Overall, our study provides supporting evidence for the certification role that BADs play on the boards of non-financial firms.Originality/valueThe authors contribute to the literature in two aspects. First, to the best of our knowledge, this is the only study that examines the effect of the governing role of banks on the lending decisions of non-bank lenders. Second, our study is associated with the growing body of the governance literature in the emerging markets context by examining the interaction of financial policies and governance in an institutional framework, which is very different from that of the developed world.

Current supply chain methods are having difficulties in resolving problems arising from the lack of trust in supply chains. The root reason lies in two challenges brought to the traditional mechanism: self-interests of supply chain members and information asymmetry in production processes. Blockchain is a promising technology to address these problems. The key objective of this paper is to present qualitative analysis for blockchain in supply chain as the decision-making framework to implement this new technology. The analysis method used Val IT business case framework, validated by the expert judgements. The further study needs to be elaborated by either the existing organization that use blockchain or assessment by the organization that will use blockchain to improve their supply chain management.
