“…Most past studies used the debt to equity ratio as a proxy for debt covenant tightness (e.g., Dhaliwal, 1982; Pacceca, 1995; Schalow, 1995; Dechow et al , 1996; Ang et al , 2000). There has been, however, some considerable debate in the literature as to how well the debt to equity ratio proxies debt covenant costs (e.g., Press and Weintrop, 1990; Duke and Hunt, 1990; Watts and Zimmerman, 1990; Duke et al , 1995). More recently, Dichev and Skinner (2002) have reported evidence that firm leverage is a relatively noisy and poor proxy for closeness to covenant limits and consequently of debt covenant costs.…”

“…Entre los trabajos que han tratado la oportunidad de la utilización de la ratio de endeudamiento como variable represetantiva de la existencia y aproximación al incumplimiento de las restricciones planteadas en las cláusulas de endeudamiento se encuentran^^: Holthausen (1981), Chow (1982), Kelly (1985), Duke and Hunt (1990), Press and Weintrop (1990) y Duke (1995). La evidencia de los mismos muestra una relación positiva entre la existencia, o número en algunos casos, de cláusulas de endeudamiento y la ratio deuda/fondos propios.…”
