Stock listing and financial flexibility

We derive an e ¢ cient leverage range, and illustrate how the range helps facilitate
nancial exibility and dividend smoothing. The range boundaries originate from discrete jumps in the costs associated with incentive conicts, and evolve with cash ows and investment opportunities in a manner that enables the leverage employed to motivate e ¢ cient investment and compensation choices. Firms with a limited range become
nancially constrained, and face stricter credit terms to mitigate expropriation incentives following poor performance. Our analysis helps explain observed leverage ratios, dividend patterns, and debt composition, and suggests directions for empirical studies.
