Abstract
⺠We analyze contingent convertible (CoCo) bonds in a continuous-time framework. ⺠We show that CoCo bonds increase risk-taking incentives. ⺠Even though CoCo bond issues might increase the bank value, the probability of financial distress can increase. ⺠Thus, CoCo bonds are not unambiguously beneficial for banking stability.
