Capital Intensity and the Firm's Cost of Capital

The Review of Economics and Statistics, 1988
Recent reports of negative capital intensity coefficients in struct ure-performance equations support allegations of gross measurement error in accounting-based measures of economic profitability. This paper explores whether specification errors, rather than measurement errors alone, may explain this anomalous empirical result.

Human-Capital-Intensive Firms: Incentives and Capital Structure

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2003
I study the incentives of nonmanagement key personnel in human-capital-intensive firms. I show that their compensation structure and hence their incentives depend on the firm's capital structure and top management compensation. The feasible set of renegotiation-proof contracts decreases as debt rises.

For central cities, the failure of a booming export sector to stimulate employment of the population ...

This chapter provides an overview of the steady-state behavior and certain propositions in comparative dynamics, in particular, that across steady-state sign ( d Δ/ dk ) = signer( sr − n ). The chapter presents a full dynamic analysis. A certain stability analysis and a closely related assumption about uniqueness of the balanced growth state seems to ...

Are Capital Intensive Firms the Biggest Exporters? [PDF]

, 2011
This paper starts out from the observation that the export shares of firms (export to sales ratio) vary greatly among firms, and tend to be systematically related to the firms' capital labour ratios. This observation cannot be explained by e.g. the standard Melitz model, since it predicts that all exporting firms have identical export shares.
