By Guembel Alexander and Lucy we examine how the quantity of information generated about firm prospects can be improved by splitting a firm s cash flow into a safe claim debt and a risky claim equity . The former being relatively insensitive to upside risk provides a commitment to shut down the firm in the absence of good news. This commitment provides the latter a greater incentive to collect information than a monitor holding the aggregate claim would have. Thus debt and equity are shown to be complementary instruments in firm finance. We show that stock markets can play a useful role in transmitting information from equity to debt holders.
