Debt or Equity?The Characteristics of European Convertible Bonds / 歸類為負債還是權益?海外可轉換公司債性質探討

碩士 / 國立臺灣大學 / 會計學研究所 / 105 / Under current accounting rules, Convertible Bonds (CBs) are treated as equity while European Convertible Bonds (ECBs) are treated as debt. This study reviews the logic and the theories behind this controversial rule and investigates empirically whether European Convertible Bonds share key characteristics of liabilities or equities. We find evidence that ECBs, similar to CBs, are negatively associated with the common equity risk and expected return, consistent with the notion that the market treated it as equity. The above association still exist for ECBs with repricing clauses.
