Debtor-in-possession financing and bankruptcy resolution: Empirical evidence

Abstract: Debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing is unique secured financing available to firms filing for Chapter 11. Opponents of DIP financing argue that it leads to overinvestment. Alternatively, DIP financing can allow funding for positive net present value projects that increase the likelihood of reorganization and reduce time in bankruptcy. Using a large sample of bankruptcy filings, we find little evidence of systematic overinvestment. DIP financed firms are more likely to emerge from Chapter 11 than non-DIP finan… Show more

“…In Table 7 Panel B, we explicitly recognize the endogeneity of DIP financing and using the covariates suggested as important for the DIP decision by Dahiya et al (2003), estimate a bivariate probit model with the probability of obtaining DIP financing and the probability of APD being the two outcome variables. We find that both the coefficient estimate (economic significance) and the statistical significance of the DIP variable has increased controlling for endogeneity issues.…”
