A dividend imputation tax system provides shareholders with a credit (for corporate tax paid) that can be used to offset personal tax on dividend income. This paper shows how to infer the value of imputation tax credits from the prices of derivative securities that are unique to Australian retail markets. We also test whether a tax law amendment that was designed to prevent the trading of imput...

We analyze the investment decision of a ...rm that may complete a project either in one lump or in smaller parts at distinct points in time. The ...rm faces a trade-o¤ between the cost savings that arise when the project is completed in one go and the additional ‡exibility that arises when the ...rm is able to respond to resolving uncertainty by choosing optimal timing individually for each sta...

This article examines how financial constraints and product market exposures determine the response of multinational and local firms to sharp depreciations. U.S. multinational affiliates increase sales, assets, and investment significantly more than local firms during, and subsequent to, depreciations. Differing product market exposures do not explain these differences in performance. Instead, ...

The purpose of this paper is to examine the financing behaviour of Dutch corporations and its impact on firm performance.

Second, I analyse the valuation effect of different types of security offerings made by Dutch quoted firms. An ev...

Managers, consultants, and the financial press assert that compensation plans based on residual income change managers’ behavior. This assertion is empirically tested by selecting a sample of firms that began using a residual income performance measure in their compensation plans and comparing their performance to a control sample of firms that continue to use traditional accounting earnings-ba...

A multi-divisional firm can engage in ”winner-picking” to redistribute scarce funds efficiently across divisions. But there is a conflict between rewarding winners (investing) and producing resources internally to reward winners (incentives). Managers in winning divisions are tempted to free-ride on resources produced by managers in loosing division whose incentives to produce resources, antici...

Fn+1 = (Fn − 1) + 1, n ≥ 0 and are pairwise coprime. It is conjectured that Fn are always square-free and that, beyond F4, they are never prime. The latter would imply that there are exactly 31 regular polygons with an odd number Gm of sides that can be constructed by straightedge and compass [2]. The values G1, G2, . . ., G31 encompass all divisors of 232−1 except unity [3]. Let G0 = 1. If we ...

While firm-level capital growth rates exhibit positive spikes, and rise as fast as they fall, the average capital growth rate across firms exhibits negative spikes, and declines faster than it recovers. We develop a dynamic model of investment that reconciles these empirical patterns. The model features costly reversibility, cyclical macroeconomic shocks, and uncertainty about the state of the ...
