Equity Offering

Daniel and Titman (1995) examined the incentives of firms to signal their values prior to making a new equity offering. By analyzing this issue within a simple framework that encompasses a number of models in the literature, they were able to judge the relative efficiency of various signals that have been proposed. Although their analyses offer valuable insights, the robustness of their model has yet to be checked. This paper examines the parametric assumptions of their model in the section on debt and the pecking order hypothesis. We first generalize the assumptions in the example by Daniel and Titman (1995) to allow for continuous-state of nature. We then derive the resulting closed-form solution for the equilibrium payoffs to the original shareholders of both types firms under different beliefs. Although we only examine the robustness of a particular setting, our methodology can be applied to other settings.

Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine factors that determine micro and small scale enterprises’ financing preference in line with pecking order theory and access to credit in Benishangul-Gumuz Regional State of Ethiopia.Design / Methodology / Approach: The study used primary data collected using cross sectional survey questionnaire followed by mixed research approach. The sample of this study was 296 enterprises selected using proportional stratified random sampling technique. The data was analyzed using descriptive and logistic regression analysis.Findings: The results of logistic regression analysis revealed that business experience, collateral, gender, motivation and enterprises’ sectoral engagement affect financing preference of enterprises in line with pecking order hypothesis. On the second step, only enterprises that need to raise capital through credit were considered to investigate access to credit determinants. Accordingly, the logistic regression result revealed that business experience, size, sectoral engagement, collateral, interest rate, loan repayment period, financial reporting, preparation of business plan, location and educational background of entrepreneurs affect access to credit of enterprises. Research limitations/Implications: More evidence is needed on enterprises’ financing preference and access to credit determinants before any generalization of the results can be made. In addition, the empirical tests were conducted only on 296 entrepreneurs since 2019. Therefore, the results of the study cannot be assumed to extend beyond this group of entrepreneurs to different study periods.Originality/value: This paper adds value to the literature on the determinants of micro and small scale enterprises’ financing preference in line with pecking order hypothesis and access to credit.

Pecking Order Hypothesis

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the determinants of financing preferences of micro and small enterprises (MSEs) owners in Tigray regional state of Ethiopia in light of the Pecking Order Hypothesis (POH).Design/methodology/approachStructured questionnaires were used to collect data from 120 MSEs in six zonal towns of Tigray regional state. Logistic regression model was used to empirically test the literature‐driven hypotheses.FindingsKey findings include that POH holds true for MSE owners in Tigray regional state as the educational level of owners decreases and there is less intrusion in the form of ownership. On the other hand, MSE owners with a higher degree of entrepreneurial skills are found to conform with the predictions of POH. Furthermore, factors such as ownership type, acquisition type, level of education of the owner/s and reason for business startups are found to be major determinants of MSE owners' financing preferences.Research limitations/implicationsThere are of course elements that could determine MSE owners' financing preferences that require better understanding before a reliable prescriptive position on SME financing can be reached. At the same time, in this paper, data were collected from one regional state of Ethiopia that limits the generalization power of the conclusions reached. A need for more in‐depth qualitative investigation is further pointed out.Originality/valueThe research shows significance of ownership structure, entrepreneurability and MSE owners' education level in financing decisions of MSEs. The paper empirically tests POH in MSEs in Tigray regional state of Ethiopia.
