  text: We examine the relation between voluntary audit and the cost of debt in private
    firms. We use a sample of 7420 small private firms operating in the period 2006-2022
    that are not subject to mandatory audits. Firms self-select into voluntary audits
    because of the economic setting (e.g., ownership complexity, export, subsidiary
    status) or because firm fundamentals limit their access to financial debt. In
    the outcome analyses, we find that voluntary audits result in higher, rather than
    lower, interest rates with increases ranging from approximately 1.7 percentage
    points, but going higher depending on the exact specification. This effect is
    present regardless of the perceived audit quality (Big-4 vs. non-Big-4), consistent
    across auditor types. Audited firms’ earnings are less informative about future
    operating performance. Voluntary audits facilitate access to financial debt for
    high-risk firms. The price paid is reflected in higher interest rates for voluntary
    audits – firms with higher information/fundamental risk.

  text: We investigate the role of stakeholders in the CSR reporting of non-listed
    savings banks in Germany. They are established by municipal trustees and serve
    clients in their distinct operating area. Reporting discretion under the Non-Financial
    Reporting Directive may lead to variation in CSR reporting due to differences
    in sustainability interests of banks’ stakeholders and CSR governance (e.g. existence
    of a CSR manager). We document that the CSR reports and specific CSR dimensions
    are intensely associated with the existence of strong CSR governance and to a
    lesser extent with the interests of municipal trustees and bank clients. However,
    the associations with these stakeholders are predominantly present in banks with
    strong CSR governance. Our findings inform policy discussions about detailed CSR
    disclosure requirements (e.g. the European Sustainability Reporting Standards)
    and extension of reporting scope to firms with regional orientation and absence
    of typical shareholders.

  text: This study examines how private peers’ disclosure transparency affects public
    firms’ information environment, captured through analyst forecast behavior. Focusing
    on the most important private firms operating in U.S. industries, we investigate
    whether private peer disclosure—despite differing substantially from public firm
    disclosure—is incorporated into analysts’ forecasts. In a cross-sectional analysis,
    we document lower forecast quality in industries where private peers’ disclosure
    intensity is low. In contrast, when private peers’ disclosure intensity is high,
    forecast quality does not differ from that in industries with only public peers.
    We find consistent results for a subsample of U.S. private peers. Consistent with
    this interpretation, a difference-in-differences analysis documents increased
    analyst forecast activity around the disclosure dates of private peers. Together,
    these findings indicate that analysts incorporate private peers’ information when
    these peers are both economically important and sufficiently transparent, and
    highlight that variation in private firms’ disclosure intensity generates heterogenous
    externalities for public firms. Overall, our evidence supports a cost-benefit
    trade-off in analysts’ information acquisition, and, by documenting the relevance
    of private peers’ information for public firms, contributes to the debate on the
    externalities of private firms’ disclosure transparency.

  text: We investigate the impact of Brexit on the corporate bond market by analyzing
    a comprehensive database covering corporate bond listings on European and UK trading
    venues. We find a significant shift in bond market activity, evidenced by a 49%
    increase in the number of bond listings in the EEA30 countries relative to the
    UK market after Brexit. Country-level analyses reveal a staggered effect on market
    activity, with predominantly international issuers adjusting their bond listings
    between the initially scheduled Brexit date and the final withdrawal date. At
    the issuer level, our findings indicate that the relative attractiveness of the
    EEA30 market has increased post-Brexit. Overall, these results suggest that the
    European capital market has successfully adapted to the loss of its largest financial
    center and exhibits a rising corporate bond market activity.

  text: The study examines whether the announcement and passing of the Corporate Sustainability
    Reporting Directive (CSRD) impacts the sustainability reporting of German firms.
    It sheds light on the interdependence of various actors, sectors and policy levels
    by examining how regulatory changes at the policy level affect the reporting practices
    of firms across multiple sectors. On the one hand, the scope of the CSRD is being
    extended, so that new firms falling within its scope may increase their voluntary
    sustainability reporting as part of the preparation process. On the other hand,
    the reporting requirements will be more stringent, so that firms currently under
    the mandate of the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) may enhance their
    sustainability reporting disclosure practices in preparation for the CSRD. First,
    we find no increase in voluntary sustainability reporting by firms that are not
    under the scope of the NFRD but will be under the scope of the CSRD. Second, we
    find enhanced sustainability reporting practices by firms that are subject to
    the NFRD after the CSRD’s announcement and passing. This finding suggests that
    these firms begin to implement the new reporting requirements before the first
    reports are published in 2025. We illuminate the preparation for extensive reporting
    changes through sustainability reporting disclosure practices as an outcome of
    the preparation process. These changes may represent a high burden, particularly
    for firms with no previous experience of sustainability reporting.

  text: 'This paper introduces a novel database on the European corporate bond market
    to analyze the role of transparency regulation and recent developments in bond
    markets. We use data from the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA)
    to build a comprehensive database covering daily corporate bond listing information
    in Europe starting in 2018. We then analyze the different market segments of the
    European bond market along four key areas: (i) time and cross-sectional trends
    in bond listings; (ii) composition of firms on the market; (iii) firms’ financial
    reporting transparency; (iv) bond contract terms. Furthermore, we discuss the
    impact of recent economic events on these key areas.'

  text: We examine variation in mandatory CSR reporting practices based on a large
    sample of non-publicly listed savings banks in Germany. They do not have typical
    shareholders but rather are established by municipal trustees and can serve clients
    only in their distinct operating area. This setting permits us to identify demand
    for CSR information by their main stakeholder groups – municipal trustees and
    private and corporate clients. In this way, our analysis focuses on the double-materiality
    approach to CSR reporting. We find that demand for CSR information by supervisory
    board chairperson belonging to a left-wing or green party and the presence of
    more supervisory board members belonging to a left-wing or green party are associated
    with longer CSR reports and more disclosure on environmental, social, employee
    and human rights matters. In addition, competition for private clients and the
    sustainability orientation of corporate clients are associated with longer reports
    and more disclosure on environmental, employee and human rights matters. These
    findings suggest that savings banks’ CSR reports cater to their principal stakeholders’
    demand for CSR information.

  text: This research note links the legal framework of the insolvency process of
    German firms to the information available in the newly-constructed insol database.
    In particular, the database contains information from documents published by German
    insolvency courts in period 2005- 2022. This research note first presents the
    insolvency process with steps and events of the process as determined by the Insolvency
    Law (InsO). Next, it classifies the documents to specific steps and events, and
    then presents their information content using textual analysis. Specifically,
    we identify target phrases via manual document checks and then create regular
    expressions for the target phrases. Classification of documents allows us to sketch
    most common paths that insolvent firms go through.

  text: This paper introduces an index that captures the complexity of countries’
    corporate income tax systems faced by multinational corporations. It is based
    on surveys of highly experienced tax consultants of the largest international
    tax services networks. The index, called the Tax Complexity Index (TCI), is composed
    of a tax code subindex covering tax regulations and a tax framework subindex covering
    tax processes and features. For a sample of 100 countries for the year 2016, we
    find that the level of tax complexity varies considerably across countries, while
    tax code and framework complexity also vary within countries. From a global perspective,
    tax complexity is strongly driven by the complexity of both transfer pricing regulations
    in the tax code and tax audits in the tax framework. When analyzing the associations
    with other country characteristics, we identify different correlation patterns.
    For example, tax framework complexity is negatively associated with countries’
    governance, suggesting that strongly governed countries tend to have less complex
    tax frameworks, while tax code complexity is positively associated with the statutory
    tax rate, indicating that high-tax countries tend to have more complex tax codes.
    However, none of the observed associa-tions are very strong. We conclude that
    tax complexity represents a distinct country charac-teristic and propose the use
    of our TCI and its subindices in future research.

  text: 'This study investigates whether country risk factors, including political
    and fiscal budget risk, attenuate the effectiveness of tax policy tools that aim
    to encourage corporate risk-taking. Exploiting a cross-country panel, we predict
    and find that the effectiveness of loss offset rules and tax rate changes is fully
    attenuated for firms located in high-risk countries. We document the attenuating
    effect of country risk is more pronounced in high-tax countries or when countries
    increase their corporate tax rate. Additional tests around the U.S. federal budget
    crises from 2011 to 2013 indicate that temporarily heightened fiscal budget risk
    attenuates the effectiveness of loss offset rules even in countries with low political
    risk. We identify conditions (low political and low fiscal budget risk) under
    which targeted tax policy tools effectively stimulate risk-taking. This suggests
    that ensuring taxpayers receive tax refunds is important in times of economic
    crises with budgetary or political challenges. '
