This paper documents the short and long term balance sheet effect of cash flows. We show that cash savings in the short run and debt reduction in both the short and the long run account for a substantial fraction of cash flow use. Although, in the long run, investment exhibits substantial sensitivity to cash flows, investment does not absorb the entire cash flow shock. In fact, the tighter the ...

This paper directly links the risk premium on an asset to two characteristics of its underlying cash flow: cash flow covariance with aggregate consumption; and cash flow duration, which measures the temporal pattern of the cash flow. Their impact on the cross-sectional variation of risk premia can be largely captured by a two-factor cash flow model. While cash flow covariance is of firstorder i...

We investigate a firm’s joint decision to hold cash and to hedge in the presence of financial constraints. The predictions are tested using a sample of manufacturing firms. We confirm the existing evidence of a positive sensitivity of cash holdings to cash flow for financially constrained firms. More importantly, we find a positive sensitivity of hedging to cash flow for constrained firms and, ...
