The research reported in this volume represents the second stage of a wide-ranging National Bureau of Economic Research effort to investigate ""The Changing Role of Debt and Equity in Financing U.S. Capital Formation."" The first group of studies sponsored under this project, which have been published individually and summarized in a 1982 volume bearing the same title (Friedman 1982), addressed several key issues relevant to corporate sector behavior along with such other aspects of the evolving financial underpinnings of U.S. capital formation as household saving incentives, internationa
