This strategy has two elements. First, for low-leverage values, the firm fully hedges its operating cash flow exposure, due to the convexity of its cost of capital. When leverage exceeds a very high threshold, the firm gambles for resurrection and stops hedging. Second, the firm manages its capital structure through dividend distributions and investment. When leverage is low, the firm replaces depreciated assets, fully invests in opportunities if they arise, and distribute dividends, all of these together to achieve its optimal capital structure. As leverage increases, the firm stops paying dividends, while fully investing. After a certain leverage, the firm also reduces investment until it stops investing completely. The model predictions are consistent with empirical observations date: 2015-06 date_type: published publisher: Wiley id_number: 10.1111/jori.12025 official_url: http://tse-fr.eu/pub/27659 sub_title: investment, capital structure, and hedging in the presence of financial frictions. faculty: tse divisions: tse divisions: CRM keywords: Hedging (Finance) keywords: Capital costs keywords: investments keywords: Capital structure keywords: Financial risk management language: en has_fulltext: TRUE doi: 10.1111/jori.12025 subjectsJEL: JEL_C61 subjectsJEL: JEL_G32 view_date_year: 2015 full_text_status: public publication: Journal of Risk and Insurance volume: vol. 82 number: n° 2 pagerange: 359-399 refereed: TRUE issn: 0022-4367 oai_identifier: oai:tse-fr.eu:27659 harvester_local_overwrite: oai_set harvester_local_overwrite: volume harvester_local_overwrite: subjects harvester_local_overwrite: number harvester_local_overwrite: official_url harvester_local_overwrite: issn harvester_local_overwrite: faculty harvester_local_overwrite: sub_title harvester_local_overwrite: keywords harvester_local_overwrite: site harvester_local_overwrite: divisions harvester_local_overwrite: abstract harvester_local_overwrite: title harvester_local_overwrite: publisher harvester_local_overwrite: id_number harvester_local_overwrite: creators_affiliation harvester_local_overwrite: creators_idrefppn oai_lastmod: 2019-01-23T12:28:02Z oai_set: tse oai_set: ut1c site: ut1 citation: Amaya, Diego, Gauthier, Geneviève and Léautier, Thomas-Olivier (2015) Dynamic risk management: investment, capital structure, and hedging in the presence of financial frictions.
