This paper investigates the effect of the economic value added (EVA) performance evaluation on the value of the cash holdings of Tehran Stock Exchange firms. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of the underinvestment modification and overinvestment restraint on cash holding.

Eviews software was used to analyze the data. The results of the study show that economic value added performance evaluation decreases the underinvestment and the overinvestment of Tehran Stock Exchange firms and on the other hand, economic value added performance evaluation increases the value of cash holding. This study contributes to the emerging literature related to cash holdings and the economic consequences of the economic value added performance evaluation policy.
