Agency problems between firms and debt-holders are severe especially when a firm is financially distressed. We study how board members’ “off-the-job” legal infractions are associated with the odds that they take actions that dim the financial situation of the company or take other actions that are detrimental to creditors prior to bankruptcy, through a sample of 264 mainly small firms from Sweden.
