On Thursday, March 9 at 4.40 pm, International College of Economics and Finance will hold the Research Seminar.
Speaker: Stefano Sacchetto (IESE Business School)
Theme: "Heterogeneity in Corporate Investment and Financing Policies" joint with Theodosios Dimopoulos
Venue: Shabolovka st., 26, room 3211

Abstract: We empirically examine the degree to which persistent differences in corporate investment and financing policies across firms are driven by technological heterogeneity. We estimate a neoclassical model of investment for a sample of US manufacturing companies, allowing the parameters of the profit function and the capital adjustment costs to differ across firms. We find that firm-specific technological parameters explain a considerable fraction of the cross-sectional dispersion in investment{cash-ow sensitivities, and in the unobserved fixed heterogeneity in leverage, cash holdings and acquisition expenditures.

Everyone interested is welcome to attend!
