摘要

This paper examines how asset risk impacts corporate investment and financing decisions. We derive a general model that incorporates risk, adjustment cost and depreciation features of assets-in-place into investment decisions. The model suggests that the risk and adjustment cost of assets-in-place reduce both corporate investment and financing. We empirically test the model using a panel of United States firms from 1985 to 2013 with data on real estate risk exposure. Evidence shows that real estate risk is negatively associated with firms’ long-term investments and long-term external financing in equity and debt. The effect on firm leverage, however, depends on asset types and risk measures. Overall, in contrast to previously documented positive effects of the real estate value, real estate risk exposure exhibits mostly the opposite effects on investment, financing and capital structure.
