Bankruptcy of the Famous Trade-Off Theory

2015
Within modern theory of capital cost and capital structure by Brusov–Filatova–Orekhova (Brusov and Filatova 2011; Brusov et al. 2011a, b, c, 2012a, b, 2013a, b, 2014a, b; Filatova et al. 2008), the analysis of wide-known trade-off theory has been made.

The Trade-Off Theory and the Pecking Order Theory: Are They Mutually Exclusive?

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009
The main purpose of this study is to simultaneously examine the pecking order and trade-off theories of capital structure and determine which one performs better for a sample of US firms. Our empirical models, which allow the financing coefficient and the rate of adjustment to vary with the firms' characteristics, provide evidence that the trade-off ...

Cognitive trade-offs in scientific theorizing as an aspect of cognitivism in information science (the theory of cognitive trade-offs)

Научно-техническая информация. Серия 1: Организация и методика информационной работы, 2023
Концепция «когнитивных компромиссов» рассматривается в качестве одного из базовых построений, на которых основывается новое научное направление - когнитивная информатика, развиваемое автором. Вводится понятие «научная парадоксальность» как фактор, присущий исследовательской сфер и являющийся одновременно условием её дальнейшего развития.

Trade-Off and Pecking Order Theories of Debt

2005
Taxes, bankruptcy costs, transactions costs, adverse selection, and agency conflicts have all been advocated as major explanations for the corporate use of debt financing. These ideas have often been synthesized into the trade-off theory and the pecking order theory of leverage. These theories and the related evidence are reviewed in this survey.

The geometric theory of adaptive evolution: trade-off and invasion plots

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2005
The purpose of this paper is to take an entirely geometrical path to determine the evolutionary properties of ecological systems subject to trade-offs. In particular we classify evolutionary singularities in a geometrical fashion. To achieve this, we study trade-off and invasion plots (TIPs) which show graphically the outcome of evolution from the ...

Trade-Offs in the Study of Culture and Development: Theories, Methods, and Values

Child Development, 2000
Abstract The commentators are unanimous in their support for our general orientation to culture and development, and for the pathways we have identified, and they suggest ways to enrich our approach to theory, methods, and values. We view their main suggestions as relating to trade-offs: between theories that highlight generalizations

Statistical decision theory and trade-offs in the control of motor response

Spatial Vision, 2003
We present a novel approach to the modeling of motor responses based on statistical decision theory. We begin with the hypothesis that subjects are ideal motion planners who choose movement trajectories to minimize expected loss. We derive predictions of the hypothesis for movement in environments where contact with specified regions carries rewards or

Testing the Pecking Order Theory and Trade-Off Theory of Capital Structure

2009 International Conference on Management and Service Science, 2009
This paper tests traditional capital structure models against the alternative of a pecking order model of corporate finance in Chinese stock market. We show that, the basic pecking order model, which predicts external debt financing driven by the internal financial deficit, has much greater explanatory power over the capital structure of Chinese listed

The Employment–Hours Trade‐off: Theory and an Application to the Portuguese Case

LABOUR, 2004
Abstract.  Using traditional production theory, it is possible to estimate production functions in which hours per worker and number of workers hired are treated as endogenous and chosen by the firm, priced respectively by the variable hourly wage and the so‐called quasi‐fixed unit cost.

Theory and Practice of Time-Space Trade-Offs in Memory Limited Search

2001
Having to cope with memory limitations is an ubiquitous issue in heuristic search. We present theoretical and practical results on new variants for exploring state-space with respect to memory limitations.We establish O(log n) minimum-space algorithms that omit both the open and the closed list to determine the shortest path between every two nodes and
