中文摘要

莫迪里亞尼與米勒(MM)因為股利政策無關論與資本結構無關論研究,而先後獲得諾貝爾經濟學獎。但DeAngelo與DeAngelo兩位學者卻在近期發表一連串的論文,聲稱MM的理論是錯誤的。本研究試圖說明MM的理論在完美市場的假設之下,完全正確。我們也試圖建立一個簡單的非完美市場模型,說明一個公司的發放決策、資本投資決策、流動投資決策與融資決策的相互關係。當交易成本等於零,就得到MM股利政策無關的結果。MM模型將現金全數發放是完全市場假設隱含的結果,並非隱含設立的假設。

英文摘要

Both Modigliani and Miller are winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics for their dividend irrelevance theorem and other contributions. DeAngelo and DeAngelo published a series of papers in well know journals and argue that MM's irrelevance is wrong. In this study, point out that MM's argument is perfectly right in the framework of a perfect economy. We also try to set up a basic model to illustrate the payout decision, capital investment policy, liquidity investment policy and financing policy of a firm. We show that MM's irrelevance theorem is a special case of this paper's model. The assumption of a perfect market automatically implies that a firm pays out all of its free cash flows. DeAngelo and DeAngelo overreact to this result.
