Convertible debt and active monitoring are more likely to be optimal if the firm faces greater uncertainty in its choice of continuation strategies; the aggressive continuation strategy is not too profitable on average; and the firm's cash flow distribution is more skewed, with low probability of success, low liquidation value, and high returns if successful. These results mirror entrepreneurial firms' choice between bank finance and venture capital finance.
