摘要
This paper investigates the link between external financing and product market competition by focusing on different maturity structures. Using firm-level data for Japanese manufacturing firms over the period 1990-1995, we find that long-term loans enable firms to compete aggressively at a level below profit maximization. By contrast, short-term loans are not related to product market competition. Our results suggest that long-term loans play an important role in investment in market share for long-term profits through lowering prices.
