The determinants and implications of corporate cash holdings

Article Abstract:

The determinants and implications of cash holdings and marketable securities by publicly traded US firms in the 1971-1994 period were examined. Evidence supportive of a static tradeoff model of cash holdings was revealed by time-series and cross-section tests. Relatively high ratios of cash to total non-cash assets were linked to firms with strong growth opportunities and riskier cash flows. Little evidence was found that excess cash had a profound short-run impact on capital expenditures, acquisition spending and payouts to shareholders.
