Abstract: | This paper provides estimates of the direct costs of bankruptcy in New Zealand by analysing 27 corporate receiverships. The analysis indicates that the direct costs of receivership have a median value of 8% of firm value. The evidence also indicates that direct bankruptcy costs are a decreasing function of size. |
