| Abstract: |
| To study a model that integrates the corporate public disclosures and investment decisions with a stock market in which information acquisition is costly and prices are partially revealing. The analysis focuses on the link between corporate investment decisions and stock-price formation; to disclose decisions are studied in a setting in which an IPO firm chooses the level of public disclosure to trade off the effects of public disclosure on the cost of capital and investment efficiency. An equilibrium is derived in which the level of public disclosure, the amount of private information production, the amount of investment and the cost of capital are all linked to specific characteristics of the firm, of the information traders, and of the market. Comparative static results will be studied. Empirical and policy implications will be discussed; to examine the link among public disclosures, private information production, the cost of capital, and investment efficiency. |
