We study the impact of this bill on the firm’s chances to emerge successfully from bankruptcy\, and on the len iency of court judges in grating motions that affect the debtor’s access t o cash\, access to credit and control of the reorganization plan. We use t hese three dimensions to quantify the effective pro-debtor bias of Chapter 11 bankruptcy judges based on their decisions within the first 120 days o f a voluntary Chapter 11 reorganization of large\, publicly held companies between 2004 and 2020. We find a positive association between court shopp ing and pro-debtor bias\, but no effect on firm survival. Our results sugg est that the refiling rate can be improved by providing more opportunities to creditors to be involved in the reorganization plan.\n\nHybride : Sall e Xerox\, HEC de Montréal\n\nWeb site : https://hecsciencesdecision.github .io\n DTSTART:20230208T170000Z DTEND:20230208T180000Z SUMMARY:Kris Boudt\, Vrije Universiteit Brussel and Amsterdam URL:/mathstat/channels/event/kris-boudt-vrije-universi teit-brussel-and-amsterdam-345748 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
