The Modigliani-Miller theorem (of Franco Modigliani, Merton Miller) is an influential element of economic theory; it forms the basis for modern thinking on the capital structure of a firm.The MM theorem represents what could possibly be the most important theory in respect of the effects of the Capital structure of a firm and the value of that firm. Despite the enormous efforts by Modigliani and Miller and the entire time spent by numerous scholars critiquing this theory, the MM theorem remains unclear and faces many objections.
