My thought is that the null hypothesis would be that corporations borrow money because they are expanding production/expanding inventory/retooling, in the expectation that there will be increased future demand for their products and services. Interesting that you should mention testing choice - last week George Mason announced that it had snagged a prominent econometrician who specializes in testing the reasons for economic choices - and 6 of his colleagues - I think from University of Arizona. Allegedly, the guy's on the short list for a Nobel. His salary is $250K!
