Descripción
The present study aims to learn how collateral affects firm performance in the case of
newly established wine producers. The issue is to identify the effects of collateral in
situations of asymmetric information when the bank is the main financial partner of the
entrepreneurs involved. On the one hand, the use of collateral may reduce the risk of
overinvestment by entrepreneurs and thereby reduce the risk of repayment default. On
the other hand, collateral may induce bad performance linked to a reduced monitoring
of the investments by the bank. We herein test both hypotheses in two different cases:
when the bank monitors the investments and when the bank does not.
