Abstract

We provide a simple model of investment by a firm funded with debt and equity and empirical evidence to demonstrate that, once we control for the debt overhang problem with credit spreads, asset volatility is an unambiguously positive signal for investment, while equity volatility sends a mixed signal: Elevated volatility raises the option value of equity and increases investment for financially sound firms, but exacerbates debt overhang and decreases investment for firms close to default. Our study provides a simple unified understanding of the structural and empirical relationships between investment, credit spreads, equity versus asset volatility, leverage, and Tobin's q$q$.

债券与股票:投资信息
我们提供了一个以债务和股权融资的公司进行投资的简单模型,并提供了经验证据来证明,一旦我们用信用利差控制了债务悬置问题,资产波动对投资来说就是一个明确的积极信号,而股权波动则是一个混合信号:波动率上升会提高股权期权价值,增加财务稳健企业的投资,但会加剧债务悬置,减少濒临违约企业的投资。我们的研究为投资、信用利差、股票相对于资产波动率、杠杆率和托宾 q$q$ 之间的结构和经验关系提供了一个简单统一的理解。
