متن کاملCapital Structure, Liquidity and Transferable Human Capital in Competitive Equilibrium
This paper analyzes how human capital and economic uncertainty affect capital structure and managerial compensation.

By incorporating friction between public and private debt, a structural model where firms make financing policy decisions in presence of uncertainty can explain a sign...
