Financial Development and Financing Constraints : International

Corporate Investment and Financing Dynamics∗

This paper studies the behavior of leverage ratios in a dynamic trade-off model with real frictions. Firms underutilize debt when financing investment to retain financial flexibility. Underutilization of debt persists even when firms exercise their last investment options, and it is more (less) severe for more back-loaded (front-loaded) investment opportunities. Thus, leverage dynamics cruciall...

Financing constraints and returns on Physical investment

Using an intertemporal model of investment decisions under financing constraints we show that the Euler equation approach can be used to identify the effect of financing constraints on investment returns even when the premium on external financing does not change over time. This result is made possible by the introduction of a tangibility constraint to a commonly used dynamic optimization model...
