Abstract

We develop a dynamic multitasking model for a financially constrained firm that manages both current cash reserves through short-term effort incentives and firm growth via long-term effort incentives. We demonstrate that financing constraints lead to an overinvestment in short-term efforts compared to a scenario without such constraints, resulting in short-termism. In addition, we also show that both permanent and transitory shocks exert an ambiguous impact on the payout thresholds under conditions of positive correlation between the transitory and permanent shocks.
