The objective of this paper is to examine the capital structure of the Indian firms. The investigation has been performed using panel data procedure for a sample of 504 Indian companies listed on any Stock Exchange of India during 1994–95 2003–04. The hypothesis that is tested in this paper is that the debt ratio at time t depends upon the asset structure at time t, the size at time t, the return on assets at time t, and the debt ratio at time t-1. I have used multivariate regression analysis to find out the significant factors for determinant of capital structure. The empirical results justify our hypothesis that the debt ratio of the Indian companies is positively related to its asset structure and its growth rate, and negatively related to its profitability, business risk and non-debt tax shield. Thus, I conclude that firms that maintain a large proportion of fixed assets tend to maintain a higher debt ratio than smaller firms. Furthermore, larger firms employ more debt capital in comparison with smaller firms and firms with high profitability ratios tend to use less debt than firms that do not generate high profits. My findings also suggest that firms do follow a target capital structure during the examined period. These results are consistent with the theoretical background presented in the second section of the paper.

The purpose of this study is to find out and analyze whether there is an Influence of Liquidity, Growth Opportunity, Asset Structure, and Non Debt Tax Shield on Capital Structure with Profitability as an Intervening Variable in Islamic Commercial Banks Registered at OJK 2016-2020 ". This research is a quantitative research using data sources derived from secondary data, namely the annual report. The sampling technique used in this research is purposive sampling technique. Of the 14 Islamic commercial banks registered with the OJK, only 11 are in accordance with the sample criteria in this study. This study uses the Eviews 9 application as a tool for data processing. The analytical methods used in this research are stationarity test, panel data regression model test, classical assumption test, regression test, and path analysis test. The results obtained in this study are liquidity has a significant negative effect on capital structure. Growth opportunity and asset structure have a significant positive effect on capital structure. Meanwhile, the non-debt tax shield and profitability variables have no significant positive effect on capital structure. Liquidity has no significant negative effect on profitability, growth opportunity has no significant positive effect on profitability. Asset structure has a significant positive effect on profitability, while non-debt tax shield has a significant negative effect on capital structure. From the results of the path analysis conducted in this study, profitability was not able to mediate the variables of liquidity, growth opportunity, and non-debt tax shield on capital structure, but for the asset structure variable profitability was able to mediate the influence of asset structure on capital structure.

Funding entrepreneurial innovation with debt capital, defiling capital structure optimality, to push an economy forward in emerging economies is the focus of this study. It is targeting potential investors through a survey to seek clarification on their understanding and knowledge on capital structure as to its threat to business and investment failure. It prevailed that, entrepreneurship is not adequately defined to identify the right funding sources. Investors understand capital structure and engage funds at proportions as dictated by necessity and their utilities as against strict adherence to theory. Entrepreneurs accept responsibility to be efficient and innovative for growth and success; failure is not assignable to any theoretical shortcoming. This is acknowledging the optionality of capital structure and the need to develop the debt market to support entrepreneurial drive to ease unemployment in society.

This article deals with the actual problem of choosing capital structure of a company, because debt ratio has an influence on making strategic decisions of the long-term company’s development, its investment risks, potential interest conflicts between management, owners and lenders. The article analyzes the principles of the construction of capital structure in terms of classical and modern theories of capital structure using methods of scientific knowledge: system analysis, synthesis, logical analysis, empirical researches. According to the first theory of the capital structure, developed by M. Miller and F. Modigliani through a number of strict preconditions, capital structure does not affect the company’s value. By adding a tax factor authors showed that in this case the choice of capital structure affects the company’s value, because debt capital increases it by the value of the tax shield. According to trade-off theory the main determinants of capital structure are the size of the tax shield, the probability of bankruptcy and the credit rating. According to the theory of the signal the capital structure depends on such factors as the information asymmetry and the credit rating. According to the pecking order theory capital structure the choice of it is determined by the hierarchy of sources of financing: firstly companies prefer to use internal sources of financing, then - debt financing. According to the market timing theory the key factors of capital structure are share price fluctuations. Analysis of various theories of the capital structure has showed that most theories have been developed by economists represented countries with developed markets. But developed countries and emerging countries have a lot of differences, which have an impact on choosing capital structure by companies.

ABSTRACTCovid-19 Pandemic has caused massive changes. Lockdown policy set by the government to suppress the rate of transmission of the virus has had huge impact on the economy. Many companies must suffer losses, even have to declare bankruptcy. Operational activities had been limited that caused the company no longer being able to rely on internal funding to finance its business. The company is faced with a choice of external funding decisions, that is increasing debt (on liability side) or issue shares (on the equity side). This study aims to examine the effect of capital structure during the pandemic on financial performance. This research conducted on 121 companies from consumer non-cyclicals, transportation & logistic, and banking sector listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange. The results show that during the pandemic companies tend to prefer to increase debt than equity. Further testing shows that the companies with dominant debt capital structure have positive effect on financial performance. Meanwhile, the companies with a dominant equity capital structure have no significant effect.Keywords: debt, equity, financial performance, pandemicABSTRAKPandemi Covid-19 menyebabkan perubahan yang sangat masif. Kebijakan lockdown yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah untuk menekan laju penularan virus memberikan dampak yang sangat besar bagi perekonomian. Banyak perusahaan yang harus mengalami kerugian, bahkan harus mengumumkan kebangkrutan. Kegiatan operasional perusahaan yang terbatas mengakibatkan perusahaan tidak lagi dapat mengandalkan pendanaan internal untuk membiayai usahanya. Perusahaan dihadapkan pilihan keputusan pendanaan eksternal, yaitu menambah utang (di sisi liabilitas) atau menerbitkan saham (di sisi ekuitas). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh struktur modal di masa pandemi terhadap kinerja keuangan. Pengujian dilakukan ke 121 perusahaan dari perusahaan sektor barang konsumen non-primer, transport dan logistik, dan perbankan yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa di masa pandemi, perusahaan cenderung lebih memilih menambah utang dibandingkan ekuitas. Pengujian lebih lanjut menunjukkan bahwa sampel perusahaan dengan struktur modal dominan utang menunjukkan hasil berpengaruh positif pada kinerja keuangan. Sedangkan pada sampel perusahaan dengan struktur modal dominan ekuitas menunjukkan hasil tidak signifikan.Kata kunci: ekuitas, kinerja keuangan, pandemi, utang

This study examines the effect of profitability, liquidity, size, tangibility and tax shield on capital structure of Nepalese Hydropower Companies. Debt ratio and long term debt to total assets ratio are taken as dependent variable and Profitability, liquidity, size, tangibility and tax shield are as independent variable. The study reveals that tangibility and non debt tax shield are positively influence the total debt where as profitability and liquidity are negatively influence on the total debt decision of the Nepalese Hydropower Companies. The regression coefficients for size are neither consistent nor statistically insignificant in all regression equations indicating that size variable is not the major factor of determinant of total debt as well as long term debt.

Corporate capital structure remains a controversial issue in modern corporate finance. Since the seminal work by Modigliani and Miller (1958), a plethora of research has been undertaken in attempting to identify the determinants of capital structure. This paper analyzes the capital structure determinants of manufacturing, merchandising and service firms operating in Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) during the period from 2010 to 2013 comprising of 218 companies. This study addresses the following questions: Are the capital structure determinants of three types of firms in ISE driven by different factors? To answer this question, panel data methodology is applied to the sample of firms for the period from 2010 to 2013. The results show that the manufacturing and merchandising firms exhibit similarities in their capital structure choices. For those firms, size and firm growth are positively related to leverage, whereas profitability have a negative relationship with their debt to assets ratio. For service firms, size and non-debt tax shield have significant positive impact on leverage but profitability negatively related to leverage. These findings provide evidence in favour of trade off theory and pecking order theory.

This study investigates the capital structure determinants of 346 oil and gas firms that are the constituents of the Global Oil and Gas Index (OILGSWD) over the period of 2000 – 2015, taking into account the effect of the Global Financial Crisis of2007-2009 on the determinants of the capital structure. Thus, six firm level explanatory variables (namely: liquidity, profitability, growth, non-debt tax shield, tangibility and size) are selected and regressed against the appropriate capital structure measure, leverage, the ratio of total debt to book value of total assets. The data is collected from secondary sources depending on the data from the DataStream database. The major findings of the study indicate that tangibility, profitability, size, liquidity and non-debt tax shield are the significant determinants of capital structure of oil and gas firms, while growth is considered insignificant. The capital structure is analyzed in terms of the three main theories of capital structure: Trade-off theory, Pecking order theory, and Agency cost theory. Finally, the global financial crisis has to some extent a significant impact on the capital structure determinants of oil and gas firms and has no significant impact on liquidity, as indicated by the OLS regression analysis results.

This paper examines the effect of capital structure on the firms’ performance. The study collected data from seventeen firms listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange from 2009 to 2018. A quantitative research technique is used to collect data to test two hypotheses. Panel data regression is employed to determine the effect of capital structure on firms’ performance. The study revealed that short-term debt and total debt accounted for 67% and 76.3% respectively of capital used to finance the operations for the period. Furthermore, the study revealed that there is significant and negative relationship between capital structures and firms’ performance. The study concludes that firms should minimise the use of debt capital and rather concentrate on equity capital to finance their operations. The study recommends that firms should increase sales and invest in tangible assets to maximise the firms’ performance.

<p>The main objective of this chapter is to understand the determinants of the capital structure of the firms that provide high quality corporate-sustainability reporting. First, all the non-financial companies quoted in Borsa Istanbul (BIST) will be studied in order to see the full picture of the market. Second, all the firms that are included in the computation of the BIST Sustainability Index (XUSRD) will be analyzed as the firms that provide high quality corporate-sustainability reporting. In line with the literature on capital structure variables such as profitability, size, risk, growth, tangibility, non-debt tax shield and ownership structure were picked as the possible determinants of capital structure. Moreover, long- and short-term debt ratios were selected as the proxies for capital structure. Our findings indicate that when capital structure is measured by long-term debt, profitability, size, tangibility, the ratio of free-float outstanding value to total assets, and institutional ownership percentage become the main determinants of capital structure for the whole market. For sustainability index firms, when capital structure is measured by the long-term debt ratio, the main determinants of capital structure become non-debt tax shield and tangibility. On the other hand, for the same type of firms, when capital structure is measured by the short-term debt ratio, tangibility and the ratio of free-float outstanding value to total assets become the main determinants of capital structure.</p>
