spelling The hidden value behind capital structure decisionsCapital structureReal optionsR&D valuationSimulationA Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Masters Degree in Finance from the NOVA – School of Business and EconomicsI estimate the optimal capital structure for a growth company, for which market value is dictated by its highly volatile nature. I study the welfare impact of corporate taxes, analyzing their economic effect of inducing higher bankruptcy levels. Assuming that management always seeks to optimize the market value of company’s assets, I find a significant loss of value that varies negatively with volatility. Flow and stock insolvency are important for the maximization of capital structure, and I compare both, modeling the value of the company as an option on its revenues. These are not only highly significant for R&D and startup companies but also have significant welfare consequences. I compare the options of liquidation and re-financing and find a clearly important role of early liquidation for R&D frameworks. I complement the study with a comparative statics analysis estimating the impact of risk to the value of the firm and the optimal capital structure decision, for a cross-section of firms. The results present quantitative evidence that reinforce the literature of trade-off and capital structure applied to growth companies.NSBE - UNLSanta-Clara, PedroRUNSilva, Carlos Afonso Bi França e2013-05-07T10:35:16Z2009-062009-06-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/9476enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T03:42:34Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/9476Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:18:51.316728Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
