The supposed preference of firms for internal financial sources to fund their investments can be explained by either the free cash-flow or the financial constraints theories, both relying on asymmetric information. Neither theory was found fully valid by recent research. Using a French data panel, conclusive evidence will be made in favour of the free cash-flow theory in special cases. The validity of the free cash-flow theory in special cases will bring new issues to light with the introduction of a new definition: soft budgeting problem of capital. Through this analysis, the possible interaction between capital market imperfections and general equilibrium will also gain new dimension.

Good Signal

The random reaction in capital market by different perceptions and other factors makes it difficult for investors to get their optimum return. The objective of this study is to provide an empirical evidence about how the market will react by fundamental signal from the perspective of life cycle theory, free cash flow theory, and bird in the hand theory. The study presents the analysis of covariate for hypotheses testing with 241 firms as the sample which are listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange for period 2010–2015. This study finds that the life cycle theory and free cash flow theory are not absolute theories to explain the market reaction for any firms, because each firm has its own characteristics. The findings show that share prices shall react differently depending on each characteristics of the firm. The bird in the hand theory seems applicable in any case of firms, since the informational contents by dividend can deliver good signal to investors in capital market. Excluding the smaller and younger firms, this study proves that dividend is still a better way in determining the reaction of share prices, since each type of firms has its own types of dividend payers with different share prices.

Prior Literature

We examine earnings manipulation via discretionary accruals and real earnings management prior to the release of cash reserves back to shareholders. Previous research indicates that firms manage earnings upward when they increase dividends, creating a coordinated signal to the market. We study earnings management surrounding dividend initiation to determine whether management is manipulating earnings downward to avoid the discipline imposed by dividends in the years ahead or whether they are signaling to the market. We suggest that the aim of earnings management is not to reduce earnings but that earnings are more likely managed to preserve financial flexibility, create earnings reserves, and postpone shareholders’ expectations for initiating recurring dividends. Rather than signaling with upward earnings management, we find that dividend initiating firms manage earnings downward, consistent with the free cash flow theory. Our results explain findings in prior literature for the surprisingly stable earnings performance and accrual quality in the period just after dividend initiation. Furthermore, the market day stock price reaction is inversely related to earnings management, contradicting the purpose of signaling. We provide evidence that the managerial inertia for initiating dividends represents unique agency concerns compared with an increase in existing dividend payout and to the extent that downward real earnings management does not reverse, we identify a cost to shareholders for the quasi contract of recurring dividend payout.

Expansion through franchising could help restaurant firms solve financial constraints, but it could also make overinvestment easier for misaligned CEOs. Whereas the former topic has been extensively examined, the latter has received scant attention from researchers. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether franchising alleviates financial constraints or leads to overinvestment problems in restaurant firms. For this purpose, we analyzed and compared investment–cash flow sensitivities between constrained and unconstrained; franchising and nonfranchising; constrained, franchising and unconstrained, franchising; and constrained, nonfranchising and unconstrained, nonfranchising restaurant firms. The results show that unlike other industries, unconstrained restaurant firms depend more on cash flows for investment than constrained restaurant firms do. Although investment–cash flow sensitivity in nonfranchising restaurant firms was similar to that of firms in other industries, unconstrained restaurant firms that expand through franchising rely more on cash flows. These findings suggest that restaurant firms’ expansion through franchising is likely to increase overinvestment problems. Franchising could serve as a long-term method of financing for financially constrained firms as well as a short-term financing tool. However, unconstrained, franchising firms should distribute their excess cash flows to shareholders. Theoretical implications are discussed within the realms of the franchising, pecking order, and free cash flow theories.
