Abstract

This paper investigates the role of internal networks on long-term borrowing in large business groups. In line with the network-assisted resource-based hypothesis, our findings suggest that firms associated with big business groups tend to use their internal networks for raising long-term borrowings. These findings indicate that an association with a business group increases the ease of access to debt capital within their internal networks.
