Non-redemption has further led to higher issuance costs and a substantial drop in new CoCo issues. Troubled banks have shifted towards cutting payouts, paring down risky assets, booking less non-performing loans and decreasing loan loss provisions to repair their risk-based capital ratios, while equity-to-asset remains below the pre-event levels afterwards. Moreover, using loan-level data for listed firms, we find a persistent decline in bank lending to smaller and non-state borrowers following non-calls.

We show that top executives increase corporate risk-taking, manifested in higher return volatility and riskier corporate policies, following disasters in their geographically distant places of attachment, while no such effect is observed for close places of attachment. This effect continues into the next four to eight quarters. The increase in risk-taking is amplified when the disaster event is more salient and when the executive has a stronger connection to their distant attached places, and it is weaker for executives with better emotional resilience.
