Optimal Capital Allocation
This paper starts with primitive assumptions on consumer preferences and then derives prices consistent with a social optimum within an insurance company and the capital allocation implied therein. The implied allocation adds up to the total capital of the rm (a result echoing ndings in the congestion pricing literature where optimal tolls exactly cover the rental cost of the highway). The...

متن کاملCorporate Governance and Capital Structure Dynamics
We develop a dynamic tradeoff model to examine the importance of manager-shareholder conflicts in capital structure choice.

Managers own a fraction of the firms’ equity, capture part of the free cash flow to equity as private benefits, and have control over financing decisions. Using data on leverage choices and the mo...
متن کاملOptimal Capital Allocation: Mean-Variance Models
This paper studies capital allocation problem based on minimizing loss functions. Two capital allocation models based on the Mean-Variance principle are proposed. General formulas for optimal capital allocations for both models are derived according to quadratic distance measure. In particular, we discuss centrally symmetric distributions and gamma distributions. Some numerical examples are giv...
