Why Are Overall Profits Outpacing Financing Costs?
Bobrov, Anton E.; Davis, Carter; Sollaci, Alexandre; Traina, James (2024-06-17)
Since the 1980s, decreasing interest rates have reduced the cost of financing for publicly traded corporations, which in turn has lowered their cost of capital by more than a third.

Combining these data indicates that the increase in profits has instead gone to privately held companies. This implies that private companies have either increased their market power or their risk.

Conference Paper
The stock market and capital accumulation
Hall, Robert E. (2000-04)
The value of a firm's securities measures the value of the firm's productive assets. If the assets include only capital goods and not a permanent monopoly franchise, the value of the securities measures the value of the capital.

Hnatkovska, Viktoria; Armenter, Roc (2011)
The authors document that the U.S. non-financial corporate sector became a net lender in the 2000s, using aggregate and firm-level data. They develop a structural model with investment, debt, and equity. Debt is fiscally advantageous but subject to a no-default borrowing constraint. Equity allows the firm to suspend dividends when the cash flow is negative. Firms accumulate financial assets for precautionary reasons, yet value equity as partial insurance against shocks. The calibrated model replicates the prevalence of net savings in the period 2000-2007 and attributes the rise in corporate ...

Journal Article
Corporate governance and responsibility
Santomero, Anthony M. (2003-04)
In the first article this quarter, President Anthony Santomero asks: What is the root of the corporate governance problems that have recently gained the spotlight? Is it the mega-merger frenzy of the 1980s? Overly optimistic forecasts of earnings? Innovations in the financial services industry? Although these factors undoubtedly played some role, President Santomero views governance problems as having deeper roots. In "Corporate Governance and Responsibility," he points out that the central dilemma is one of conflicting interests in organizations - what economists call "the ...
