我们开发了一个扩展的权衡模型的现金持有量,结合CEO的信念。乐观的CEO认为外部融资成本过高,但预计随着时间的推移,这种成本会下降,从而推迟外部融资,并保持比理性CEO更低的现金余额。我们发现,相对于理性的CEO,乐观的CEO持有的现金少24%,随着时间的推移,现金持有量的变化较小,持有较低的现金来为公司的增长机会提供资金,并从当前现金流中节省较少的现金。我们用两个不同的公司样本和两种不同的乐观衡量标准证实了我们的发现。
We develop an expanded trade-off model of cash holdings that incorporates CEO beliefs. The optimistic CEO views external financing as excessively costly but expects this cost to decline over time, thus delaying external financing and maintaining a lower cash balance than rational CEOs. We find that, relative to rational CEOs, optimistic CEOs hold 24% less cash, exhibit a lower change in cash holdings over time, hold lower cash to fund the firm's growth opportunities, and save less cash out of current cash flow. We confirm our findings with two different samples of firms and two alternative measures of optimism.
