    Does analyst information influence the cost of debt? Some international evidence
    (Elsevier, 2019) Ferrer Zubiate, Elena; Santamaría Aquilué, Rafael; Suárez Suárez, Nuria; Enpresen Kudeaketa; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE; Gestión de Empresas
    We examine the contribution of analyst forecasting accuracy in reducing the average total cost of debt to firms. Our results reinforce the importance of analyst accuracy as a mechanism for reducing information asymmetries in the market, which is important to increase firms' access to available investment funding. A significant level of institutional and bank-held ownership serves as a substitution mechanism which mitigates the capacity of analyst accuracy to reduce information risk. External governance mechanisms also moderate the role played by analyst accuracy in the reduction of the cost of corporate debt. Our empirical findings are robust to different model specifications including the potential effect of the legal origin, to the consideration of an alternative proxy for the total cost of debt, to the inclusion of additional analyst-characteristics and stock-level characteristics.

    Banking stability, competition, and economic volatility
    (Fundación de Cajas de Ahorros (FUNCAS), 2014) Fernández, Ana; Suárez Suárez, Nuria; González Rodríguez, Francisco; Gestión de Empresas; Enpresen Kudeaketa
    The paper analyzes the influence of banking stability on the volatility of industrial value added and how it varies across 110 countries depending on bank market competition and bank-firm relationships. We find that banking stability reduces the volatility of value added more in industries that have greater external dependence and intangible intensity when they are located in countries with more developed financial systems and better investor protection. These results are consistent with the relevance of a lending channel and an asset allocation channel such as the channels through which banking stability diminishes industrial economic volatility. Moreover, we find that banking stability helps reduce economic volatility more, through both channels, in countries that have less bank market competition or close bank-firm relationships. We use several proxies for banking stability and control for countries’ banking development, reverse causality problems, and endogeneity of banking stability.

    Does investor sentiment affect bank stability? International evidence from lending behavior
    (Elsevier, 2021) Cubillas, Elena; Ferrer Zubiate, Elena; Suárez Suárez, Nuria; Enpresen Kudeaketa; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE; Gestión de Empresas
    We study the impact of investor sentiment on bank credit and how changes in lending may affect bank stability. We analyze a sample of 2,673 banks from 127 developed and developing countries during the 1997–2016 period. Our results indicate that periods of high investor sentiment positively affect bank lending and encourage bank risk-taking through the increase in the amount of loans granted which, in fact, reduces bank stability. We find that the impact of investor sentiment on bank stability through changes in growth in bank loans is less negative in countries where creditor rights protection is greater, in terms of both collateral and bankruptcy. During systemic banking crises, the negative effect on bank stability was weaker since any increase in bank credit supply provoked by investor sentiment was counteracted by the crisis.

    Complexity is never simple: intangible intensity and analyst accuracy
    (SAGE, 2020) Ferrer Zubiate, Elena; Santamaría Aquilué, Rafael; Suárez Suárez, Nuria; Enpresen Kudeaketa; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE; Gestión de Empresas
    We examine the relationship between intangible intensity and the accuracy of analyst forecasts. Using an international sample of 2,200 firms during 2000–2016, we show that analyst accuracy decreases significantly when intangible intensity grows. In exploring the determinants of this effect, we distinguish between firm risk and the risk associated with intangibles. Our results reveal the role of financial reporting quality, ownership structure, and institutional quality in moderating the relationship between intangible intensity and analyst accuracy. Analyst forecast accuracy acts as a channel through which the higher levels of information asymmetry associated with intangible intensity affect the cost of equity. Our results are robust to different intangible intensity measures; mandatory changes in financial reporting standards; the implementation of transparency rules in certain industry sectors; and financial crisis periods. We have devised alternative econometric tools that deal with potential sample selection bias and the dynamics of our empirical model.
