Partial Adjustment toward Target Capital Structures
The literature provides conflicting assessments about firms’ leverage decisions. We argue that econometric mis-specifications have influenced many past conclusions, because the estimated regression models implicitly impose strong, but unwarranted, assumptions on the data. This study estimates a partial-adjustment model for a firm’s leverage decision. Our model recognizes that a firm’s target ca...

Corporate governance theory predicts that leverage affects agency costs and thereby influences firm performance. We propose a new approach to test this theory using profit efficiency, or how close a firm’s profits are to the benchmark of a best-practice firm facing the same exogenous conditions. We are also the first to employ a simultaneous-equations model that accounts for reverse causality f...

متن کاملAgency Problems, Firm Valuation, and Capital Structure
This paper studies the optimal contracting problem in a general cashow setup, and offers a framework to quantitatively assess the impact of agency problems. A closed form solution is obtained in the square-root mean-reverting cash ow process. In the geometric Brownian cashow setup, we embed the agency problem into Leland (1994), and nd that the debt-overhang problem lowers the optimal leverage....
