Abstract
We examine the e↵ect of introducing credit default swaps (CDSs) on firm value. Our model allows for dynamic investment and financing, and bondholders can trade in the CDS market. The model incorporates both negative and positive e↵ects of CDSs. CDS markets lead to more liquidations, but they also reduce the probability of costly debt renegotiation, and reduce costly equity financing. After calibrating the model, we find that firm value increases by 2.9% on average with
the introduction of a CDS market. Firms also invest more and increase leverage. The effect on firm value is strongest for small, financially constrained, and lowproductivity firms.
