Abstract

Cette étude examine les facteurs déterminants le recours aux données comptables dans les contrats de dette. Les résultats suggèrent que le recours aux clauses comptables est positivement associé au risque de l'émetteur et aux dettes remboursables, et négativement à la maturité du prêt et la taille de la firme.
