Description
Christian Khn explores the impact of institutional buyouts (IBOs) characteristics on the transaction’s capital structure and examines the robustness of established theories in a context which deviates substantially from most empirical studies. With regard to capital structure theories the identified relationships suggest a renaissance of the static trade-off theory while the relevance of the agency theory could only be confirmed in part. However, it appears that agency cost of debt assume a more influential role than do agency cost of equity. Dr. Christian Khn promovierte bei Prof. Dr. Malte Brettel am Lehrstuhl fr Wirtschaftswissenschaften fr Ingenieure und Naturwissenschaftler der RWTH Aachen. Er ist als Manager im Bereich Leveraged Finance/Structured Finance bei der HSH Nordbank AG in Hamburg ttig.
