Abstract: Agency theory for the first time appeared in literature in 70s years at the works of Ross (1973), Jensen and Meckling (1976). Their starting points were transaction costs, asymmetric information, moral hazard and adverse selection. This theory gradually enforced not only in economic scientific disciplines but even in sociology and politics. From point of the view of corporate finance is the most important for the development of the discipline impact of agency costs on market value of firm. The theory has significant place in the explanation of optimal capital structure and dividend policy. Increasingly more and more representatives is appearing in the Czech scientific literature as well.
