Abstract: In this paper, we study the optimal capital structure model with endogenous bankruptcy when the firm's asset value follows an exponential L'evy process with positive jumps. In the Leland-Toft framework cite{LelandToft96}, we obtain the optimal bankruptcy barrier in the classical continuous-observation model and the periodic-observation model, recently studied by Palmowski et al. cite{palmowski2019leland}. We further consider the two-stage optimization problem of obtaining the optimal capital structure. Detailed numerical experiments are conducted to study the sensitivity of the firm's decision-making with respect to the observation frequency and positive jumps of the asset value.
