• Adverse Sect ion :
• The most common motivation for the pecking order is adverseselection developed by Myers and Majluf (1984) and Myers (1984). Thekey idea is that the owner-manager of the firm knows the true value ofthe firm’s assets and growth opportunities. Outside investors can onlyguess these values. If the manager offers to sell equity, then theoutside investor must ask why the manager is willing to do so. In manycases the manager of an overvalued firm will be happy to sell equity,while the manager of an undervalued firm will not.

• Agency Theory :
• The idea that managers prefer internal financing to external financingis, of course, old (e.g., Butters 1949). Traditionally the argument wasthat outside financing required managers to explain the projectdetails to outside investors, and expose themselves to investormonitoring. Managers dislike this process. Thus, managers have apreference for retained earnings over external financing but their is nodirect prediction about the relative use of debt versus equity whenseeking external financing. These ideas were subsequently developedinto agency theories with Jensen and Meckling (1976) being aprominent contribution.

• A modern corporation is a team effort involving many players,including management, employees, share holders. The member of thiscorporate team are bound together by a series of formal and informalcontracts to ensure that they pull together.
• For a long time economists assumed that all players acted for thecommon good but in the last 20 years we have learn a lot about thepossible conflicts of interest and how companies try to overcome suchconflicts these ideas are collectively known as agency theory.
