摘要
Corporate debt diversification (firms simultaneously utilizing multiple distinct debt sources) is a global phenomenon. However, how such financing affects firm value has not yet been examined. Using Indian firms, we investigate debt diversification's impact on monitoring effectiveness, agency costs, and financial constraints - which can all affect market value. Results reveal a negative impact of debt diversification on firm value, particularly among group-affiliated firms. This negative impact is attributed to free riding among lenders: evidence suggests that increased agency costs resulting from inferior monitoring contributes to worse firm accounting performance. Further, debt diversification does not appear to reduce financial constraints.
