We use China as a laboratory to test the effect of government quality on cash holdings. We build on, and extend, the existing literature on government expropriation and its interaction with firm-level agency problems by proposing a financial constraint mitigation argument. We find that firms hold less cash when local government quality is high, which is not consistent with the state expropriati...

this paper investigates the link between accrual and cash flow components of earnings and future abnormal earnings and equity values. the base of tests in this paper is ohlson (1999) model and net income, equity book value and return on equity book value, is the variables that used in this paper. the statistical population of this research is the firms accepted in the tehran stock exchange that...

In this study, the effect of management entrenchments on the speed of cash holding adjustment in Iran has been investigated. After designing the management entrenchment evaluation indicators, the transaction information was collected from the Stock Exchange in the five-year period of 2011-2015. The statistical sample consists of 155 companies selected by systematic deletion method. In this rese...

In traditional study of supply chain management, people mainly consider the decisions from perspective of the operations management, such as, capacity, inventory, ordering level, pricing, etc., and often ignore to consider the impact of financial flow within the supply chain. However, the key function of supply chain management is concerned with the coordination of material flows, information f...

The impact of credit quality on swap rates is determined under alternative netting assumptions. With counterparties of different default risk, swap valuation is non-linear in the underlying promised exchange of cash flows. The impact of credit risk asymmetry and of netting is presented through both theory and numerical examples, which include interest rate and currency swaps.

The problem of valuation of life insurance payments with policyholder behaviour is studied. First a simple survival model is considered, and it is shown how cash flows without policyholder behaviour can be modified to include surrender and free policy behaviour by calculation of simple integrals. In the second part, a more general disability model with recovery is studied. Here, cash flows are ...

This paper surveys the main concepts and techniques of recent developments in the modeling of the term structure of interest rates that are used in the risk management and valuation of interest-rate-dependent cash flows. These developments extend the concepts of immunization and matching to a stochastic interest rate environment. Such cash flows include the cash flows on assets such as bonds an...

We model the interplay between cash and debt policies in the presence of financial constraints. While saving cash allows constrained firms to hedge against future cash flow shortfalls, reducing current debt – “saving borrowing capacity” – is a more effective way of securing investment in high cash flow states. This trade-off implies that constrained firms will allocate cash flows into cash hold...
