Notre identité est un vêtement dont notre enfance a dessiné les coutures. La présence de ceux qui nous ont élevés, nos parents, a été fondatrice de ce que nous sommes. Mais que se passe-t-il quand il s'agit d'absence ? C'est une des questions posées par notre histoire. Entre 7 et 20 ans, Thomas a recherché Julie, sa mère biologique. A l'insu de ses parents adoptifs, il va retrouver cette femme qui l'a abandonné à 4 ans et commencer auprès d'elle une "double vie". Mais "qui a deux maisons perd la raison..." dit le proverbe.

We test the implications of Flannery's (1986) and Diamond's (1991) models concerning the effects of risk and asymmetric information in determining debt maturity, and we examine the overall importance of informational asymmetries in debt maturity choices. We employ data on over 6,000 commercial loans from 53 large U.S. banks. Our results for low-risk firms are consistent with the predictions of both theoretical models, but our findings for high-risk firms conflict with the predictions of Diamond's model and with much of the empirical literature. Our findings also suggest a strong quantitative role for asymmetric information in explaining debt maturity.

Theories based on incomplete contracting suggest that small organizations may do better than large organizations in activities that require the processing of soft information. We explore this idea in the context of bank lending to small firms, an activity that is typically thought of as relying heavily on soft information. We find that large banks are less willing than small banks to lend to informationally 'difficult' credits, such as firms that do not keep formal financial records. Moreover, controlling for the endogeneity of bank-firm matching, large banks lend at a greater distance, interact more impersonally with their borrowers, have shorter and less exclusive relationships, and do not alleviate credit constraints as effectively. All of this is consistent with small banks being better able to collect and act on soft information than large banks.
