Abstract

In this study, we show that when a firm needs external financing, information quality has real effects via financing contracts on the firm's input to influence its operational outcome. Interestingly, we find that higher information quality decreases overall efficiency. Our analysis highlights the importance of considering the role of information quality in the presence of the firm's input decision upon financing contracts. In particular, information quality has a feedforward effect on the firm's real input decision via financing contracts, which in turn has a feedback effect on financing contracts and overall efficiency. Qualité de l'information et résultats endogènes des projets Les auteurs montrent que lorsqu'une entreprise a besoin de financement externe, la qualité de l'information a des répercussions concrètes, par l'intermédiaire des contrats de financement, sur l'apport de la société devant influer sur ses résultats d'exploitation. Fait intéressant, ils constatent qu'une qualité supérieure de l'information réduit l'efficience globale. Leur analyse met en lumière l'importance de prendre en compte le rôle de la qualité de l'information dans une décision relative à l'apport de la société lors de la conclusion de contrats de financement. La qualité de l'information a, en particulier, un effet de stimulation sur la décision de la société quant à son apport concret, par l'intermédiaire des contrats de financement, ce qui a en retour un effet de rétroaction sur les contrats de financement et l'efficience globale.
