FT50 UTD24 A*
We investigate the role of trade credit links in generating cross-border return predictability between international firms. Using data from 43 countries from 1993 to 2009, we find that firms with high trade credit located in producer countries have stock returns that are strongly predictable based on the returns of their associated customer countries. This behavior is especially prevalent among firms with high levels of foreign sales. To better understand this effect we develop an asset pricing model in which firms in different countries are connected by trade credit links. The model offers further predictions about this phenomenon, including stronger predictability during periods of high credit constraints and low uninformed trading volume. We find supportive empirical evidence for these predictions.

Using novel credit data, we show that hedge fund borrowing is significantly overcollateralized, primarily with rehypothecable securities. An idiosyncratic liquidity shock to a major prime broker significantly decreases credit to connected hedge funds. The dominant channel behind this shock transmission is credit supply reduction rather than precautionary demand reduction. Funds posting more rehypothecable collateral are less affected because their collateral alleviates prime broker liquidity constraints. Exposed funds subsequently have lower aggregate credit with worse terms, suggesting imperfect substitutability across hedge fund credit sources. Funds subject to the decrease in balance sheet leverage subsequently increase portfolio illiquidity, embedded leverage, and derivatives exposure.

We estimate the effect of carbon pricing policy on bank credit to greenhouse-gas-emitting firms. Our analyses exploit the geographic restrictions inherent in California’s cap-and-trade bill and a discontinuity in the embedded free permit threshold of the federal Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill. Affected high emission firms face shorter loan maturities, lower access to permanent forms of bank financing, higher interest rates, and higher participation of shadow banks in their lending syndicates. These effects are concentrated among private firms, while credit terms of public firms are largely unaffected. Overall, we show that banks respond quickly to realizations of transition risk.
