  • Derivatives Supply and Corporate Hedging: Evidence from the Safe Harbor Reform of 2005
    Derivatives Supply and Corporate Hedging: Evidence from the Safe Harbor Reform of 2005 Erasmo Giambona Ye Wang Syracuse University, Whitman School Shanghai University of Finance and of Management Economics [email protected] [email protected] This Draft: September 1, 2017 Abstract This paper analyzes the importance of supply-side frictions for corporate hedging. To identify this relationship, we exploit a regulatory change that allows derivatives counterparties to circumvent the Bankruptcy Code’s automatic stay and preference rules: The Safe Harbor Reform of 2005. Following the reform-induced expansion in the availability of derivatives, fuel hedging of airlines near financial distress (those that benefited the most from the reform) increased significantly relative to financially sound airlines. Similarly, we find that hedging propensity increased for a general sample of non-financial firms. In line with theory, we also find that firm’s value and performance increased after the 2005 reform for the affected firms. Our analysis provides also evidence consistent with unsecured creditor “runs”. Keywords: supply-side frictions, safe harbor reform, fuel hedging, airlines, firm's value, unsecured creditor runs. * Erasmo Giambona, Michael J.

Ye Wang, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, 777 Guoding Road, Shanghai, Shanghai 200433, China. We are grateful for comments from Murillo Campello and seminar participants at the University of Amsterdam. 1. Introduction Economic theory suggests that firms hedge to mitigate credit rationing (Froot, Scharfstein, and Stein, 1993; Holmström and Tirole, 2000), to reduce information asymmetry (DeMarzo and Duffie, 1991, 1995; Breeden and Viswanathan, 2016), or to alleviate the risk of financial distress (Smith and Stulz, 1985; Stulz, 2013).

  • FAA Annual Runway Safety Report 2009
    Air Traffic Organization Annual Runway Federal Aviation Administration 800 Independence Avenue, SW Safety Report 2009 Washington, DC 20591 2009-AJS-129 A Message from the FAA Administrator Dear Colleagues: We’re making progress on the issue of runway safety, but as an agency and as an industry, we need to do more. This report details the strides we’ve made over the last year. It also includes our next steps to take what is arguably one of the safest locations in all of aviation— a U.S. runway— and make it safer still. In the long term, runway safety is very, very good. Last year, we had 25 serious runway incursions. That’s out of more than 58 million operations. Serious runway incursions have dropped by more than half since 2001. Nine of those 25 serious incursions last year involved commercial aircraft. The 25 incursions were up one from the previous year, which was an all-time low. But the 2008 totals show that we must increase our vigilance. Last year, runway incursions of all types increased by some 13 percent over 2007, rising from 891 to 1,009. So far in fiscal year 2009, the data look promising with a projected drop in total incursions for the full year by some five percent and an accompanying reduction in serious incursions by at least 50 percent. These data are encouraging. But while the actual runway incursion numbers are still a very thin slice of overall operations, as an aviation professional, I believe that very good is still not good enough.
