The past decade has seen a significant deleveraging process in the industrialized world, however this deleveraging process is not yet reflected in the pace of growth in investment in corporate fixed assets which could be due to the continued weak economic recovery and uncertain investment environment.

In order to revitalize businesses’ performance, they often need to undergo restructuring. This involves adjusting how they utilize their existing assets and operations, or changing the way they structure their operations in order to reduce debt, consolidate debt or improve their overall business processes. This may also involve transferring certain assets to other entities as part of an asset transfer or sale, a capital restructuring technique that can drastically impact the financial stability of a firm.

This paper utilizes cross-country panel data from 33 advanced countries to study the impact on output gains and capital productivity of corporate restructuring. Employing an instrumental variable method we find that systemic periods of debt reduction (framed as a corporate restructuring dummy) lead to a decline in aggregate firm-level debt and a positive effect on output growth through investment as well as capital productivity. However, this effect is mitigated by the negative impacts of restructuring on the labor market as well as financial markets.
