Furthermore, public debt management strategies changed even more radically after the 2008 global financial crisis. Thus, this paper investigates the relationship between the debt indexation strategy, the type of debt indexation structure and the maturity of public securities with public debt and public debt expectations in Brazil. Regarding the debt indexation strategy, we created an indicator that shows whether the debt indexation structure is tending towards a middle-ground composition with respect to the proportions of the indexers, or whether it is tending towards a divergent composition. This indicator enables verifying whether a partial debt indexation strategy is successful in controlling both the public debt and public debt expectations, as this strategy would have the capacity to mitigate risks. Estimates are made for the total sample and for a sub-sample that represents the new debt indexation profile. The results show that a middle-ground debt indexation structure is associated with lower public debt and lower public debt expectations. The findings also reveal that a strategy of replacing floating-rate debt securities with fixed-rate debt securities and price-index debt securities is associated with lower public debt and lower public debt expectations. For the period related to the new debt indexation profile, these associations of a strategy of replacing debt securities as well as a middle-ground composition strategy with public debt and public debt expectations become stronger.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47962,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142162213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We identify a major shift in cash ratio in 1995, in the middle of the longest NBER economic expansion. We attribute this changepoint to the large and unexpected change in the target federal funds rate in 1994–1995. Moreover, we find that cash flows exert a gradually decreasing positive effect on cash holdings in the pre-1995 era, followed by an increasing negative effect in the post-1995 era. We argue that this time series evidence can settle the debate on the cash-cash flow sensitivity in the literature. We further document a hump-shaped effect from market-to-book ratio on cash holdings with a turning point in 1995. Noting that 1995 is not the exclusive period displaying such a pattern, the recurring hump-shaped effect of market-to-book ratio complements previous findings on the cyclical feature of investment opportunities. Our findings are robust to the type of changepoint detector and alternative cash measures. The incidence of the changepoint amid economic boom highlights the need for additional research on firm cash holding decisions during periods of economic growth, as most previous studies focus on cash holding during periods of economic hardship.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47962,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1062976924001200/pdfft?md5=28ee381dcf60cf7d91d970319e44273a&pid=1-s2.0-S1062976924001200-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142149985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A stronger rule of law increases bank lending but has a negative impact on bond issuance.
