International evidence on the non-linear impact of leverage on corporate cash holdings

Abstract: This paper investigates cash holding behaviour of firms from France, Germany, Japan, the UK and the US using data for 4,069 companies over the period 1996-2000. Our focus is particularly on the relation between cash holdings and leverage. We argue that the impact of leverage on cash balances of firms is likely to be non-monotonic. To the extent that leverage of firms acts as a proxy for their ability to issue debt one would expect a negative (substitution effect) relation between leverage and cash holdings. Ho… Show more

“…Recent research on determinants of cash holding has analysed companies operating in developed countries (Almeida et al, 2004;Dittmar, 2004;Shah, 2011) as well as in developing countries (Dittmar & Mahrt-Smith, 2007;Dittmar, MahrtSmith & Servaes, 2003;Ferreira & Vilela, 2004;Garcia-Terual & Martinez-Solano, 2008;Guney, Ozkan & Ozkan, 2007;Harford, Mansi & Maxwell, 2008;Isshaq, Bokpin & Onumah, 2009;Jensen, 1986). A research study conducted by Hall, Mateus and Mateus (2014), which also included a sample of companies from the Republic of Serbia, has analysed the differences in the levels of cash holdings between public and private companies, as well as differences in the levels of cash holdings between companies operating in developed markets and those operating in developing markets.…”

“…Terdapat dua pendapat berkaitan dengan hubungan antara leverage dan cash holding perusahaan. Pertama, perusahaan dengan leverage yang tinggi memiliki kecenderungan financial constraint yang tinggi pula karena perusahaan dihadapkan pada biaya pendanaan eskternal yang tinggi (Guney et al 2007 Francis et al (2004), Opler et al (1999) dan Teruel et al (2009), peneliti akan menguji apakah kualitas akrual berpengaruh secara langsung terhadap cash holding atau berpengaruh tidak langsung melalui asimetri informasi sebagai variabel mediating. Selain itu, ada dua pendapat yang berlawanan tentang variabel leverage yang menjelaskan hubungan antara leverage dan cash holding perusahaan.…”

“…Hay un gran número de estudios de los determinantes del nivel de efectivo en compañías públicas en Estados Unidos (Barclay, Smith & Watts, 1997;Kim, Mauer & Sherman, 1998;Opler et al, 1999;Bates, Kahle & Stulz, 2009;Denis & Sibilkov, 2009;Venkisteshwaran, 2011;Steijvers & Niskanen 2013;Pinkowitz, Stulz & Williamson, 2014y Hardford et al,2014, en compañías del Reino Unido (Ozkan & Ozkan, 2004;Daher, 2010) y otros países europeos desarrollados (Guney, Ozkan & Ozkan, 2007;García-Teruel & Martínez-Solano, 2008;Bigelli & Sánchez-Vidal, 2012y Pastor & Gama, 2013.

“…La Tabla 2 presenta: la media del efectivo y equivalentes al total de activo, fc -flujo de caja, apalancamiento, ktn -capital de trabajo y capex para Colombia y se compara con resultados reportados por Guney et al (2007) para Francia, Alemania, Japón, Reino Unido y Estados Unidos entre 1996 y 2000. Se observa que el nivel de efectivo y equivalentes al activo total, el apalancamiento y el capex en Colombia es menor que el de los demás países, el fc de Colombia solo es mayor que el de Japón; el ktn en Colombia es mayor que en la de los demás países, lo cual refleja ineficiencia en el manejo del capital de trabajo en Colombia respecto a los otros países.…”
