Research Interest

I am currently working on a model deriving optimal Financing for a firm.  The model includes debt  financing and also equity financing.  This is an extension of the model published in Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting, 26, 177-199.  The model published takes into account only the bond financing, short- term financing and bond refinancing and derives a time variant debt financing policy for a firm. The extended model takes into account all these choices and equity  financing including the corporate dividend policy.
