本文研究 1996 至2001 年間，894 家美國上市公司之現金增資活動及現金增資執行率之影響因子。除了重要財務會計指標，如：每股盈餘、本益比與市值之外，本研究也將增資期間的股價波動程度納入迴歸模型中。又，考量到變數間的同質性與內生性問題，本研究採用一般動差估計法估計模型參數。結果顯示，增資規模、流通在外股數的變化與公司市值對於現金增資執行率具有統計上顯著的影響力。

This paper investigates the 894 seasoned equity offerings filed by American listed corporations from 1996 to 2001 in an attempt to identify the key determinants that may affect the execution rate of seasoned equity offerings. The impacts of share price fluctuations during offering periods and other accounting characters are also taken into consideration. Apart from the ordinary least square method, the general method of moments is applied in order to account for heteroskedasticity and endogeneity problems. The
results show that total offer amount, changes in shares outstanding and market capitalization have a significant impact on determining the execution rates of seasoned equity offering.
