Abstract: | In this paper, a continuous time model of a firm is presented that can dynamically adjust both its capital structure and its investment choices. Within the model context, cross-sectional and time-series variation in debt ratios are explored with special attention to interactions btw. financial distress costs and debt holder / equity holder agency problems. This study's model produces roughly consistent results with actual regressions estimated in the empirical literature. |
