Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Moral Hazard Theory of Corporate Financial Structure: Empirical Tests The development of the theory of optimal corporate financial structure has been based on the critical assumption that the value of the equity is maximized at the level of debt which maximizes the market value of the firm. Recently, however, Myers(1977) illustrated the breakdown of that assumption under very plausible conditions. Those conditions produce a conflict between bondholders and stockholders, leading to the application of the term moral hazard. This paper is an attempt to use a large sample of fines to test the moral hazard theory against others found in the literature. Although the tests cannot conclusively prove one theory correct and the others incorrect, they will add information which may be of value in further theoretical development. Section I reviews the theory of optimal capital structure. Section II describes the moral hazard theory. Sections III and IV describe the tests and the results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Magnificent."—The Economist From the Nobel Prize–winning economist, a groundbreaking and comprehensive account of corporate finance Recent decades have seen great theoretical and empirical advances in the field of corporate finance. Whereas once the subject addressed mainly the financing of corporations—equity, debt, and valuation—today it also embraces crucial issues of governance, liquidity, risk management, relationships between banks and corporations, and the macroeconomic impact of corporations. However, this progress has left in its wake a jumbled array of concepts and models that students are often hard put to make sense of. Here, one of the world's leading economists offers a lucid, unified, and comprehensive introduction to modern corporate finance theory. Jean Tirole builds his landmark book around a single model, using an incentive or contract theory approach. Filling a major gap in the field, The Theory of Corporate Finance is an indispensable resource for graduate and advanced undergraduate students as well as researchers of corporate finance, industrial organization, political economy, development, and macroeconomics. Tirole conveys the organizing principles that structure the analysis of today's key management and public policy issues, such as the reform of corporate governance and auditing; the role of private equity, financial markets, and takeovers; the efficient determination of leverage, dividends, liquidity, and risk management; and the design of managerial incentive packages. He weaves empirical studies into the book's theoretical analysis. And he places the corporation in its broader environment, both microeconomic and macroeconomic, and examines the two-way interaction between the corporate environment and institutions. Setting a new milestone in the field, The Theory of Corporate Finance will be the authoritative text for years to come.

Book excerpt: A concise guide for students to quickly grasp the essentials of capital structure theory, providing them with a “shortcut” to the comprehension of important frameworks and a “story” that allows them to see what each model is motivated by and aimed at, especially in relation to competing models. Thereby, the book exclusively allows readers to learn capital structure theory in an efficient and unified manner. In this book, the author captures, in a succinct way, the key frameworks that persistently appear in the corporate finance arena, such as the neutrality of capital structure in a frictionless capital market, trade-off theory, agency theory, security design, and information asymmetry. Suitable both as a core textbook for post-graduate or doctoral level students and as a concise guide for practitioners and regulators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Moral Hazard The term "moral hazard" refers to a circumstance that occurs in the field of economics and describes a situation in which an economic actor has an incentive to expand its exposure to risk because it does not face the full costs of that risk. As an illustration, when a company is insured, it may be willing to take on additional risk since it is aware that its insurance will cover the costs connected with the risk. It is possible for a moral hazard to take place when, after a financial transaction has taken place, the actions of the party that is taking the risk change in a way that is detrimental to the party that is suffering the costs.

Download or read book Moral Hazard in Health Insurance written by Amy Finkelstein and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-12-02 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing the challenge of covering heath care expenses—while minimizing economic risks. Moral hazard—the tendency to change behavior when the cost of that behavior will be borne by others—is a particularly tricky question when considering health care. Kenneth J. Arrow’s seminal 1963 paper on this topic (included in this volume) was one of the first to explore the implication of moral hazard for health care, and Amy Finkelstein—recognized as one of the world’s foremost experts on the topic—here examines this issue in the context of contemporary American health care policy. Drawing on research from both the original RAND Health Insurance Experiment and her own research, including a 2008 Health Insurance Experiment in Oregon, Finkelstein presents compelling evidence that health insurance does indeed affect medical spending and encourages policy solutions that acknowledge and account for this. The volume also features commentaries and insights from other renowned economists, including an introduction by Joseph P. Newhouse that provides context for the discussion, a commentary from Jonathan Gruber that considers provider-side moral hazard, and reflections from Joseph E. Stiglitz and Kenneth J. Arrow. “Reads like a fireside chat among a group of distinguished, articulate health economists.” —Choice

Download or read book The Structure and Regulation of Financial Markets written by Peter D. Spencer and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2000-10-12 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students in economics, banking, and finance, this is a core textbook for the financial markets, institutions, and regulation option of courses in financial economics. It integrates modern theories of asymmetric information into the analysis of financial institutions, relating the theory to current developments. The text begins with an analysis of adverse selection in retail financial products like life assurance before looking at open capital markets where trades and prices provide information. It then progresses to the more complex areas of corporate governance and financial intermediation in which information is concealed or confidential and moral hazard and verification problems become important. These chapters study the various mechanisms that the financial markets have developed to allow investors to delegate the management of their assets to others. This analysis is used to show how regulation can reduce the risk of financial failure and how legal, accounting, and regulatory mechanisms can help shape a country's corporate and financial architecture. These difficult theoretical concepts are conveyed through the careful use of numerical illustrations and topical case studies. Each chapter ends with a set of exercises to test and reinforce students' comprehension of the material. Worked solutions are provided for the numerical exercises.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orio Giarini The "Geneva Association" (International Association for the Study of Risk and Insurance Economics) was founded in 1973. The main goal was to stimulate and organize objective research in the field of risk, uncertainty, and insurance, in a world in which such issues were clearly becoming of greater and greater relevance for all economic actors. This was a pioneer ing effort, especially as economic theory and the teaching of economics were still anchored to the key notion of general equilibrium under an assumption of certainty. Thus, we had to start our work almost from scratch. One of the first initiatives was to bring together in Geneva, in June of 1973, all the academics in Europe already involved in risk and insurance economics. We found eight from five different countries who never had met before. This seminar chaired by Raymond Barre, the first president of The Geneva Association, was the first of an annual series that became known as the seminar of "The European Group of Risk and Insurance Economists." Since then more than 100 economists from most European countries as well as participants from two other continents and in particular from the United States have taken part in this seminar.
