Cash Flow and Capital Spending: Evidence from Capital Expenditure Announcements

Author

Listed:
  • Stephen C. Vogt

Abstract

Pecking-order and free-cash-flow behavior are two explanations for the reliance of US corporations on cash flow from operations to finance capital expenditures. However, each explanation has different implications for financial management; cash flow hoarding for the former and cash flow payout for the latter. The empirical findings in this article suggest that firm size plays a significant role in determining appropriate financial policy for corporations.
