- dc.description.abstract This paper proposes that private firms facing stronger financial constraints benefit from greater transparency in the financial disclosure environment since it facilitates the estimation of future liquidity needs. I test this idea using a sample of private firms from 12 European countries with similar disclosure regulations for public and private firms. Consistently, I find that private firms hold less cash when they operate in industries with a higher fraction of peers disclosing extended financial reports. Further, I find that the decrease in cash holding is more pronounced in industries with higher cash-deficit risk and for younger firms. These findings are mainly explained by the disclosures of other private peers, which provide a means for learning from firms with similar liquidity constraints.
