Estimados Académicos y Académicas FEN,

Les extendemos la invitación al seminario que organiza el Departamento de Economía, en el que se presentará el trabajo titulado "Optimal Capital Structure with Stock Market Feedback".

Expone: Ana Elisa Pereira, Profesora Asistente, Universidad de los Andes

Abstract: This paper studies optimal capital structure when firms learn from financial markets. We present a tractable model of stock market feedback with imperfect information aggregation. Debt issuance affects speculators incentives to trade both directly, by changing the payoff structure of equity holders, and indirectly, through an asset-substitution effect. We show that issuing debt can increase market informativeness and firm value, and may eliminate a coordination failure equilibrium with no provision of market information. We derive the optimal capital structure in this setting and present novel empirical predictions regarding the relationship between market frictions, market informativeness and capital structure.
