The Capital Structure

The study aims to examine the relationship between corporate ownership structure and capital structure of BSE listed manufacturing firms in India. The study has included the sample of 357 companies which covers 16 major sectors during the period of 2006–2015. Considering the dynamic panel nature of the data relating to the capital structure and the ownership structure variables. The analysis undertakes a novel approach of examining the determinants both single equation and reduced equation models. In order to determine the most appropriate model, based on the F test, the Breusch Pagan LM test and finally the Hausman Test is conducted. The Hausman test result has been estimated by the fixed effect model is better than the other two models such as pooled OLS and random effect estimation. Based on the fixed effects results, size, risk and profitability have a highly significant relationship with leverage. Meanwhile, the growth opportunities and tangibility represent insignificant values. The study found that the explanatory variables of the promoters’ ownership and the institutional ownership have a negative impact on leverage, while the corporate ownership has a positive influence on the capital structure decision. The individual or public ownership has a negative and significantly related to the capital structure, whereas the effect of the foreign ownership inversely related to the firm’s leverage.

With the rise of corporate failures and the conflict of interest arising from shareholders and the management, there have been growing concerns in corporate governance (CG). It is there is ponsibility of the board of director in CG is to oversee the management as well as the firm performance and to make the management accountable to shareholders. Hence this research examines the connection between firms’ performance and board features using board size, board independence in addition to board age as a proxy for board characteristics and turnover as a proxy for firm performance. A sample size of 16 consumer goods firms out of a population of 20 consumer goods firms listed in the NSE from 2016 to 2019 was used using a judgmental sampling technique. Secondary data employed was taken out from the sampled firms’ annual reports. Hausman test analysis was used to select the appropriate regression model, which is the fixed effect regression model that was utilized to analyse the connection between firms’ performance in addition to board characteristics. It is found that firm performance and board independence of the consumer services goods companies in Nigeria are significantly related.The results also confirmed that firm performance and board size of the consumer services goods companies in Nigeria are significantly related. The result indicates firm performance and board education of the consumer services goods companies in Nigeria are not significantly related. Consequently, overall lthe study concluded that firms’ performance and board characteristics are related. Also, board characteristics increase board performance which will lead to increase in firms’ performances, there by maximizing profit and ensuring efficiency. The study concluded that a company with good board characteristics would help to ensure the maximization of both the shareholders and stakeholders wealth. Hence a proper board characteristic helps to solve the problem of both agency theory and stakeholders’ theory.
