The conditional relationship between financial leverage and corporate investment: further clarification
Article Abstract:
An option-theoretic approach was used to investigate the financing and investment decisions of a company maximizing its value. The approach makes it possible to explicitly analyze the effects of different firm-specific factors on financial leverage-corporate investment relationships. The analysis found financial leverage to be lower and corporate investment to be higher in companies that face higher tax-shield transfer costs, higher capital intensity or smaller insider equity ownership.
