Abstract

This paper empirically assesses stockholder wealth gains from the issuance of Canadian dollar denominated Eurobonds, in lieu of domestic bonds, for a sample of Canadian firms which employed both types of bond financing during the period 1983- 1990. We find no difference in stockholder wealth gain achieved from issuing Eurobonds than from issuing domestic bonds. This leads us to conclude that Eurobond financing bargains were nonexistent during the time period of our study.
