Tiivistelmä: | In this paper, examined are the determinants and implications of holdings of cash and marketable securities by publicly traded U.S. firms from 1971 to 1994. There is evidence found supportive of a static trade-off model of cash holdings. Particularly, firms with strong growth opportunities and riskier cash flows hold relatively high ratios of cash to total non-cash assets. Firms that have the greatest access to the capital markets tend to hold lower ratios of cash to total non-cash assets. Evidence is also found that well-to-do firms tend to accumulate more cash than predicted by the static tradeoff model. There is little evidence that excess cash has a large short-run impact on capital expenditures. |
