Abstract

This paper examines the dividend and investment policies of a cash constrained firm, assuming a decreasing-returns-to-scale technology and adjustment costs. We extend the literature by allowing the firm to draw on a secured credit line both to hedge against cash-flow shortfalls and to invest/disinvest in a productive asset. We formulate this problem as a two-dimensional singular control problem and use both a viscosity solution approach and a verification technique to get qualitative properties of the value function. We further solve quasi-explicitly the control problem in two special cases
