Abstract
This paper investigates how resolution time affects firms under Chapter 11 protection. We find a robust negative association between a firm's resolution time and its probability of emergence, using several controls for endogeneity. The probability of emergence reduces by 0.4% for each month (or 4.8% per year) spent in bankruptcy. Firms filing during recessions have a lower likelihood of emergence. Conditional upon business cycles, the explanatory power of various determinants such as firm size, pre-packaged or pre-negotiated bankruptcy, and industry are found to be different. During economic recessions, firm size and pre-packaged or pre-negotiated filings have no significant impact on the probability of emergence.
