【本期主题】Incentive Effects and Pricing of Contingent Capital

Contingent Capital bonds— known as contingent convertibles (CoCos) — are bonds that automatically write-down or convert to equity when the financial health of the issuer (typically a bank) deteriorates to a pre-defined trigger. Using a dynamic model of capital structure we show that if conversion terms are dilutive for existing shareholders, banks will have incentive to reduce likelihood of triggering by pursuing lower leverage, leading to less defaults and lower borrowing costs. Conversely, if at conversion, bond principal is written down without diluting shareholders, then banks will have perverse incentives to pursue higher leverage and capital destructive policies (money burning).
