Statistics show that the sale of goods on credit is widespread among firms even when they are capital constrained and thus face relatively high costs in providing trade credit. This study provides an explanation for this by arguing that customers who possess strong market power are able to increase their customer surplus by demanding to purchase the goods on credit. This gain in customer surplus increases with the degree of asymmetric information between buyer and seller with respect to product quality. Therefore, firms that are perceived as risky are especially subject to the market power of the customer and have to sell their goods on credit. Using detailed firm-level data from a large number of firms in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, this study finds evidence consistent with this hypothesis. It finds a strong positive correlation between customer market power and trade credit provision. Furthermore, this relationship is especially strong when the supplier is more risky and in countries with limited financial sector development or a weak legal system.

This paper studies the decision of firms to extend trade credit to customers and its relation with their financing decisions. The authors use a novel firm-level database of Chinese SMEs with unique information on market power in both output and input markets and on the amount, terms, and payment history of trade credit simultaneously extended to customers (accounts receivable) and received from suppliers (accounts payable). The analysis shows that suppliers with relatively weaker market power are more likely to extend trade credit and have a larger share of goods sold on credit. Examination of the importance of financial constraints reveals that access to bank financing and profitability are not significantly related to trade credit supply. Rather, firms that receive trade credit from their own suppliers are more likely to extend trade credit to their customers, and to quot;match maturityquot; between the contract terms of payables and receivables. This matching practice is more likely used when firms face strong competition in the product market (relative to their customers), and enjoy strong market power in the input market (relative to their suppliers). These results highlight the importance of supply chain financing for market competition and risk management in credit constrained firms.

"The authors study the effect of financial crises on trade credit in a sample of 890 firms in six emerging economies. They find that although provision of trade credit increases right after the crisis, it consequently collapses in the following months and years. The authors observe that firms with weaker financial position (for example, high pre-crisis level of short-term debt and low cash stocks and cash flows) are more likely to reduce trade credit provided to their customers. This suggests that the decline in aggregate credit provision is driven by the reduction in the supply of trade credit, which follows the bank credit crunch. The results are consistent with the "redistribution view" of trade credit provision, in which bank credit is redistributed by way of trade credit by the firms with stronger financial position to the firms with weaker financial stand "--World Bank web site.

Where do firms turn for financing in countries with poorly developed financial markets? One source is trade credit. And where formal financial intermediaries are deficient, industries that rely more on this source of financing grow faster.

Trade credit plays an important role in facilitating trades in supply chains. Using large datasets that link U.S. suppliers with their major customers, we show trade credit to be a collaborative and competitive tool from the view of financing collaboration, relationship lending, and horizontal and vertical competition. In particular, we find that while suppliers with smaller market share extend more trade credit to be competitive, suppliers with weaker bargaining power relative to their major customers reduce trade credit to mitigate financing risk. We further investigate trade credit impacts at both the industry and firm levels. When firms use trade credit at their industry-average level (as a collaborative tool), their sales increase with the industry trade credit level; conversely, when they are more aggressive in their trade credit strategy (as a competitive tool), they could carry excessive inventories and manipulate price to improve their gross margins, but a rising price could limit their sales growth. These results raise a serious concern for the effectiveness of overextending trade credit in supply chains.

Extending the existing redistribution theory to Chinese manufacturing firms, we find that the provision of trade credit through investing in accounts receivable is significantly correlated with the amount of funds raised through providers' equity finance, suggesting that firms not only redistribute the bank credit they borrow but also the funds they raise from the equity market via trade credit to their customers. We also find that financially constrained suppliers, or non-SOEs, or suppliers with excess capacity, or suppliers in an economic downturn, all of which face greater financial constraint, redistribute more funds raised from the equity market via trade credit to their customers than their respective counterparts, that is, less financially constrained suppliers, SOEs, suppliers with less excess capacity or suppliers in a good economic situation. For example, a one-standard-deviation increase in new equity raised (⊿Equity) creates a 21.1% increase in funding accounts receivable next year for non-SOE firms. This result supports our expectation that financially constrained suppliers are forced to extend their trade credit through costly equity finance to customers with strong market power. Overall we contend that in China the SOEs' monopoly market power and suppliers' severe excess capacity force financially constrained suppliers to redistribute the funds raised from the equity market via trade credit to their customers.

This book offers managers a complete analysis of the various facets of commercial credit and presents an analysis of the various types of markets, instruments, and risks associated with trade credit in supply chains across the globe. Trade credit is extensively used in both domestic and international commercial transactions. Although it clearly supports growth, its significance is even greater for developed countries, where the market has recovered remarkably since the global financial crisis. The number and heterogeneity of motivations to trade credit justify the variability observed in the data on global trading, and the role of trade credit has become crucial in supply chain coordination. A range of diverse trade credit finance solutions are available and include products and services offered by financial intermediaries and market products, highlighting a very interesting set of intermediate solutions that have emerged as a result of new technologies utilized in financial services. For financiers trade credit is an attractive option, but an in-depth evaluation of the possibility of losses forms the basis of a deep understating of numerous sources that can create credit risk (default and dilution risk). This book offers managers a complete analysis of the various facets of commercial credit and presents an analysis of the various types of markets, instruments, and risks associated with trade credit in supply chains across the globe.
