Empirical analyses indicate that active and passive debt management have limited power to explain the financing behavior of firms. Therefore, discontinuous financing, as a combination of active and passive debt management, might be a more realistic financing strategy. However, the properties of...

The insights of Modigliani and Miller (Am Econ Rev 53:433–443, 1963) and Miles and Ezzell (15:719–730, https://doi.org/10.2307/2330405 , 1980) on the cost of capital of firms rank among the most important results in financial theory. The underlying assumptions regarding the financial policy,...

We derive a consistent valuation approach that integrates the interdependent effects of cash dividends, share repurchases and active debt management while considering personal taxes. The valuation approach is based on the assumption that a predetermined proportion of the flow to equity is used...

In corporate valuation, it is common to assume either passive or active debt management. However, it is questionable whether these pure financing policies reflect the real financing policies of firms with a sufficient degree of accuracy. This shortcoming has led to the development of mixed...

We derive a consistent valuation approach integrating the interdependent effects of cash dividends, share repurchases, and active debt management while considering personal taxes. Additionally, we identify effects of share repurchases on the cost of equity by deriving appropriate adjustment...

We derive consistent valuation models in accordance with the flow to equity and adjusted present value approaches, which allow accounting for the firm's dividend policy and passive debt management in light of differentiated personal taxes at the equity investor level. Specifi-cally, we establish...
