摘要:In recent years .nancing through the creation of an independent
project company or .nancing by non-recourse debt has become an
important part of corporate decisions. Shah and Thakor (JET, 1987)
argue that project .nancing can be optimal when asymmetric infor-
mation exists between .rm.s insiders and market participants. In con-
trast to that paper, we provide an asymmetric information argument
for project .nancing without relying on corporate taxes, costly infor-
mation production or an assumption that .rms have the same mean
of return. In addition, the model generates new predictions regarding
asset securitization.
