R&D, Agency Costs and Capital Structure: International Evidence
Davidson, Sinclair; Brooks, Robert - Econometric Society - 2004
We examine the impact of R&D intensity and agency costs on the value of firms across 13 economies. We find that R&D adds value while high agency costs reduce value. R&D adds value, however, even when agency costs are high. We show that in those firms where agency costs are high and R&D intensity...
