Abstract
This paper investigates private and public credit registries and legal creditor rights as determinants of corporate debt maturity in 45 countries. We find that
information sharing among creditors and legal protection of creditor rights are associated with higher ratios of long-term corporate debt to total corporate debt.
Ex-ante better credit information acts as a substitute for ex-post stronger creditor protection in lengthening the maturity of corporate debt in less developed countries. Regulations requiring that both positive and negative
credit information are distributed and that secured creditors are paid first in bankruptcy influence corporate debt maturity across countries.
