Abstract
The underlying philosophy of resource management is to create effectiveness and efficiency. Cash is one of the most important and basic resources of any economic unit, which is at the disposal of management and can be used to guide and control matters. These funds can be valued by shareholders more than their nominal value. The present study seeks to investigate the effect of management characteristics on the marginal value of cash. Selective components for management characteristics in this study included management ability, management overconfidence, and CEO financial expertise. The statistical population of this study was all companies listed on the TEHRAN stock exchange in the period 2009 to 2018. The statistical sample was selected by a systematic removal method with 172 companies. The statistical software used in this study was Eviews10& Stata4 . The research method was applied in terms of purpose and pre-event in terms of the data collection method. Data analysis was performed using the panel data technique. Managerial Overconfidence Excessive management trust and management ability were significantly associated with the marginal value of cash. There was no evidence of a relationship between the CEO's financial expertise and the marginal value of cash. According to the research results, it can be stated that the ability of management along with the excessive trust of management is one of the components affecting the marginal value of cash.
