Abstract
⺠We examine the influence of national culture on corporate debt maturity choice. ⺠Culture could influence the debt maturity choice by shaping contracting environment. ⺠Firms in countries with high uncertainty avoidance tend to use more short-term debt. ⺠Firms in countries with high collectivism also tend to use more short-term debt.
