Abstract

The impact of corporate taxes on the leverage decision in a competitive market was analyzed in [8[, [9], and the incorporation of personal taxes into the problem structure was achieved in [4], [1] and [10]. In a more recent paper, Miller [6] suggested that the impacts of both corporate and personal taxation could be studied by simultaneously analyzing the supply of and demand for securities in an overall equilibrium framework. DeAngelo and Masulis [2], [3] formalized and extended the implications of Miller's model, but found that given the U.S. tax code, an equilibrium in which positive dividends were featured was not possible over and above the relatively small dividend exclusion provision.
