本文基於過去許多文獻僅探討公司現金持有量多寡的成因,或是現金持有量對公司價值之關聯性,但從未考量公司治理在其中所扮演的角色,故本研究使用Faulkender and Wang(2006)的現金價值衡量模型,用股票超額報酬來衡量現金價值,以探討公司治理好壞對現金價值的影響。實證結果顯示,企業現金價值將隨公司治理效果的提升而增加,與國外文獻相反;而現金價值會隨現金持有量減少而增加,且企業籌資越困難,現金價值也會增加。
There are many studies exploring the determinants of corporate cash holdings and the effect of cash holding on corporate value in the literature, but none of them discuss the effect of corporate governance on value of cash. We follow Faulkender and Wang’s (2005) model, using excess return as our dependent variable to investigate how corporate governance impacts firm value by comparing the value of cash holdings in poorly and well-governed firms. The evidence shows that value of holding cash in well-governed is higher than poorly governed firms, and the value of cash declines with larger cash holdings or better access to capital markets.
