The Insensitivity of Investment to Interest Rates: Evidence from a Survey of CFOs Steven A. Sharpe and Gustavo A. Suarez [email protected] [email protected] Federal Reserve Board Federal Reserve Board 20th St and Constitution 20th St and Constitution Ave, NW Ave, NW Washington DC 20551 Washington DC 20551 (202) 452-2875 (202) 452-3011 December 3, 2013 Abstract A fundamental tenet of investment theory and the traditional theory of monetary policy transmission is that investment expenditures by businesses are negatively affected by interest rates. Yet, a large body of empirical research offer mixed evidence, at best, for a substantial interest-rate effect on investment. In this paper, we examine the sensitivity of investment plans to interest rates using a set of special questions asked of CFOs in the Global Business Outlook Survey conducted in the third quarter of 2012.

  • 2001 Report: Richard Green, Editor
    THE JOURNAL OF FINANCE • VOL. LVII, NO. 4 • AUGUST 2002 AMERICAN FINANCE ASSOCIATION Report of the Editor of The Journal of Finance for the Year 2001 This report covers my first full year as Editor of the Journal of Finance. The Journal is doing very well. Submissions are running at a record pace, we are attracting outstanding papers across the full range of topics in fi- nancial economics, and turnaround times are very good. The transition from the previous editor is almost complete. The Journal continues to provide the scholarly community in financial economics an outlet that is both broadly representative and high quality. I. Transition between Editorial Offices The first papers I accepted appeared in the June issue of this past year. In the remaining issues for 2001 a majority of the papers were accepted by René Stulz, the previous editor. During 2002, this will change over, and most issues will consist predominantly of papers I have accepted. The February 2002 issue contains 19 papers, 5 of which I accepted. The April, June, and October issues, which have all been scheduled, will each contain 3 or 4 papers accepted by René. There are no remaining active files still being handled by René. He and Robyn Scholl, his assistant at Ohio State, have continued to offer help and guidance cheerfully whenever the need has arisen, and I appreciate their help very much. II. Journal Size As part of the transition, the Executive Committee agreed to increase the page budget for the Journal during the year 2000. In the six issues in 2000 the Journal published 98 papers ~81 in the regular issues!.

  • Report of the Editor of the Journal of Finance for the Year 2011
    THE JOURNAL OF FINANCE • VOL. LXVII, NO. 4 • AUGUST 2012 AMERICAN FINANCE ASSOCIATION Report of the Editor of the Journal of Finance for the Year 2011 CAMPBELL R. HARVEY, EDITOR I AM HAPPY TO REPORT that 2011 was another good year for the Journal of Finance. We received 1,300 submissions, of which 1,162 were new manuscripts. The number of new submissions rose by 11% from 2010. Resubmissions in- creased from 123 in 2010 to 138 in 2011. Note that in 2009 the Journal of Finance stopped counting “style” revisions in the official revision count, which accounts for the sharp drop in resubmissions after 2008. In 2011, the Journal published 60 articles, written by authors whose pri- mary affiliations include 75 different institutions. Table I details the number and timing of submissions received throughout the year. The primary affili- ations are summarized in Table II, which reports the number of authors per institution (where an article with n authors is counted as 1/n articles for each author’s institution). The institutions with the most Journal authors last year were the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University, and the University of Chicago. The Journal’s visibility and impact remain extremely high. Table III shows that articles published in the Journal were cited 17,621 times in all journals during 2010, a total that ranks first among business and finance journals and third among all economics journals (behind the American Economic Review and Econometrica). Our 1-year impact factor (cites during 2010 to articles published in 2008 and 2009, divided by the total number of articles published in those 2 years) is 4.15 (up from 3.76 in 2009), which ranks second among business and finance journals and fifth among all economics journals (up from seventh in 2009).

  • Payout Policy in the 21 Century
    Version: June 14, 2004 Payout policy in the 21st century a a a,b c,d Alon Brav , John R. Graham , Campbell R. Harvey , and Roni Michaely a Duke University, Durham, NC 27708, USA b National Bureau of Economic Research, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA c Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853 USA d The Inter-Disciplinary Center, Herzelia, Israel Abstract We survey 384 financial executives and conduct in depth interviews with an additional 23 to determine the factors that drive dividend and share repurchase decisions. Our findings indicate that maintaining the dividend level is on par with investment decisions, while repurchases are made out of the residual cash flow after investment spending. Perceived stability of future earnings still affects dividend policy as in Lintner (1956). However, fifty years later, we find that the link between dividends and earnings has weakened. Many managers now favor repurchases because they are viewed as being more flexible than dividends and can be used in an attempt to time the equity market or to increase EPS. Executives believe that institutions are indifferent between dividends and repurchases and that payout policies have little impact on their investor clientele. In general, management views provide little support for agency, signaling, and clientele hypotheses of payout policy. Tax considerations play a secondary role.

  • A Review of Taxes and Corporate Finance
    Foundations and TrendsR in Finance Vol. 1, No. 7 (2006) 573–691 c 2006 J.R. Graham DOI: 10.1561/0500000010 A Review of Taxes and Corporate Finance John R. Graham1 1 Fuqua School of Business, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708-0120 and NBER, [email protected] Abstract This paper reviews domestic and multinational corporate tax research. For each topic, the theoretical arguments explaining how taxes can affect corporate decision-making and firm value are reviewed, followed by a summary of the related empirical evidence and a discussion of unresolved issues. Tax research generally supports the hypothesis that high-tax rate firms pursue policies that provide tax benefits. Many issues remain unresolved, however, including understanding whether tax effects are of first-order importance, why firms do not pursue tax benefits more aggressively, and whether corporate actions are affected by investor-level taxes. 574 Modigliani and Miller (1985) and Miller and Modigliani (1961) demon- strate that corporate financial decisions are irrelevant in a perfect, frictionless world. During the past 45 years, research has focused on whether financial decisions become relevant if capital markets are not perfect. This paper reviews the literature that investigates the conse- quences of allowing taxation, with emphasis on how taxes can affect corporate policies and firm value.1 This role is potentially very impor- tant, given the sizable tax rates that many corporations and individuals face (see Fig. 1). Modigliani and Miller (MM) argue that corporate financial policies do not add value in equilibrium, and therefore firm value equals the present value of operating cash flows.
