  • Dissecting the Bond Profitability Premium
    Journal of Financial Markets, 2016
    Co-Authors: T. Colin Campbell, Doina Chichernea, Alex Petkevich
    Abstract:

    In contrast to prior equity market results, we document that corporate bonds issued by low Profitability firms outperform bonds issued by highly profitable firms. This performance difference is primarily driven by low Profitability, low credit rating firms. This Profitability premium is consistent with compensation for default risk and can be explained by default risk factors that include speculative-grade bonds. The impact of Profitability on equity returns depends on the relative importance of default risk and the risk of the firm׳s investments when solvent, consistent with higher Profitability signaling both lower future distress and riskier investments resulting in higher discount rates.

  • Disentangling the impact of securitization on bank Profitability
    Research in International Business and Finance, 2019
    Co-Authors: Mohamed Bakoush, Rabab Abouarab, Simon Wolfe
    Abstract:

    We empirically evaluate the channels through which securitization impacts bank Profitability. To this end, we analyze the role played by bank risk, cost of funding, liquidity and regulatory capital in explaining the relationship between securitization and bank Profitability. We find that securitization activities tend to boost Profitability. We also show that bank risk, cost of funding, liquidity and regulatory capital individually and jointly act as transmission channels in the securitization-Profitability relationship. In addition, we break down the securitization effects on bank Profitability into direct and indirect effects and identify the contribution of each individual transmission channel in the overall impact on bank Profitability. Our findings have several implications for banks, financial markets, and regulators.

  • Effects of environmental regulation on actual and expected Profitability
    Ecological Economics, 2015
    Co-Authors: Dylan G. Rassier, Dietrich Earnhart
    Abstract:

    The Porter hypothesis asserts that properly designed environmental regulation motivates firms to innovate, which ultimately improves Profitability. In this study, we test empirically the Porter hypothesis and the competing hypothesis that regulation undermines Profitability (“costly regulation hypothesis”). In particular, we estimate the effect of clean water regulation, as reflected in the stringency of firm-specific effluent limits for two regulated pollutants, on the Profitability of chemical manufacturing firms. As our primary contribution, we contrast the effect of clean water regulation on actual Profitability outcomes and its effects on investors' expectations of Profitability. Our results for actual Profitability are consistent with the Porter hypothesis, while our results for expected Profitability are consistent with the costly regulation hypothesis. Thus, our empirical results demonstrate that investors do not appear to value the positive effect of tighter clean water regulation on actual Profitability.
