This chapter enhances the growing research field of Cultural Finance by analyzing the relationship between cultural value types—in particular, Autonomy and Embeddedness—and the corporate debt choice of either bank or bond financing. The authors derive their hypotheses from a slight modification and re-interpretation of the Chemmanur and Fulghieri (1994) approach of “relationship lending.” Referring to the importance of specific human capital investments and individuals' future orientation, they show that firms in autonomy cultures tend toward bank finance, whereas firms in embeddedness cultures show a preference for financing by issuing bonds. In a cross-country analysis with 71 countries, the authors find empirical evidence for their established hypotheses.
Im Rahmen der Unternehmensfinanzierung spielt die Berücksichtigung von Kapitalgeberpräferenzen durch ein adäquates Finanzierungsdesign eine wichtige Rolle. In den letzten Jahren rückten dabei religiös-kulturelle Präferenzen vor allem islamischer Kapitalgeber zunehmend in den Fokus. Dieser Beitrag stellt die wichtigsten Hintergründe eines solchen Islamic Financial Engineering vor und zeigt exemplarisch eine entsprechend konkrete Umsetzung anhand der bekannten Finanzierungsform der Sukuk-Anleihen.
