Monetary policy and the time-dimension of firms’ financing structure

We offer a sketch of an Austrian theory of corporate finance by studying the structure of firms’ liabilities both on an unhampered market and through a monetary policy-induced business cycle. Building on recent contributions on the time-structure of savings, we show that booms are characterized by increased leverage and higher levels of maturity mismatches for firms. Such fragilities are to be corrected during busts.
