  • 本研究主要探討地域性多角化與投資機會對於公司權益資金成本的影響,我們採用來自21個國家的全球樣本資料,期間為2002年到2014年,樣本數共計11,176筆。研究結果顯示,地域性多角化策略將會造成公司權益資金成本上升,而當公司具有好的投資機會時,表示未來公司會有較大的競爭優勢跟獲利成長空間,此將有助於降低公司的權益資金成本。因此,本研究進一步探討地域性多角化策略與好的投資機會之下,將對公司之權益資金成本帶來何種影響。研究結果發現,好的投資機會帶來的獲利空間將會超越地域性多角化策略所引起的公司權益資金成本的增加,進而改善公司的權益資金成本。

    This research mainly examines the effect of geographic diversification and good investment opportunities on firm cost of equity capital. We examine a total of 11,176 observations of a sample of global corporations across over 21 countries from the period 2002 to 2014. The results indicate that the cost of equity capital of these firms will be increased when a geographic diversification strategy is adopted; however, the cost of equity will be lower once a good investment opportunity arrives; that is, the corporations will have greater competitive advantages in the near future, and this will lower the cost of equity capital. The findings demonstrate that the benefits of good investment opportunities outweigh the losses from geographic diversification and improve the cost of equity capital in the case of multinational companies.
