摘要：

Borrowing from multiple creditors exposes firms to liquidation risks due to coordination problems among creditors, but it also improves the firms' repayment incentives, thereby increasing pledgeability. Based on this trade-off, I develop a dynamic debt rollover model to analyze the evolution of creditor dispersion. Consistent with existing empirical findings, I find that firms optimally increase the number of creditors when their performance declines, while in the cross-section, high-growth firms can support more dispersed debt. Mechanisms that promote ex-post efficient coordination lower firms' ex-ante pledgeability, thereby exacerbating rollover risk. Frequent debt rollover diminishes the additional pledgeability from having multiple creditors.
