报告论文摘要:

 

Drawing on the Modigliani-Miller theorem and the options pricing model, we develop a model relating the dilution effect of convertible securities to the price-earnings ratio that offers explanations for cross-sectional variation in price-earnings ratios. The key feature of the model is that the call options embedded in convertible securities have the potential to transfer firm value from common equity to convertible securities holders conditional on certain firm-specific characteristics. Our model predicts that the (negative) effect on the price-earnings ratio of dilution from convertible securities is increasing in earnings, firm value, and volatility of firm value. The results of our empirical analysis are consistent with these predictions.
