Different Levels

This study empirically examines the link between firm characteristics and leverage using the data of Vietnamese non-financial listed firms from 2006 to 2015. In addition to traditional panel data methods, we employ a conditional quantile regression that unveils the behavior of regressors throughout the leverage distribution. The results confirm the non-linear relationship between firm characteristics and leverage at different levels of debt.

The Relationship

The current study aims to empirically explore the relationship between firm characteristics, corporate governance and capital structure in New Zealand's large listed companies. Eight years of data for 40 firms listed on the NZX50 Stock Exchange, are collected and observations are analysed using a conditional quantile regression. This study finds firm-specific characteristics rather than corporate governance variables play a significant role in determining firm leverage levels. The results indicate that finance policies need to vary across firm type and firm characteristics, and should match with the different borrowing requirements of listed firms.

The Difference

In Chinese transition economy, compared with state-owned firms, private firms face higher financial friction in financing activities, but have more incentive to adjust toward optimal capital structure to maximize the shareholders‟ benefit. Based on panel data of China’s listed firms from 1998 to 2007, we compare the capital structures of state-owned and privately-owned listed firms. The empirical results show that there is structural difference in static capital structure between state-owned and private listed firms while controlling for firm characteristics. We then investigate the difference in dynamics of the capital structure between these two groups of firms. Further study results tell us that the adjustment to an optimal capital structure to be faster for the private firm than for the state-owned firm.

Quantile Regression Method

We empirically investigate the impact of capital structure on bank profitability using a quantile regression method in the Vietnamese banking system during 2007–2019. Our results suggest that the nonlinear relationship between capitalization and bank profitability is only significant at the 90th quantile. This is the first study to conclude that the turning point of capital ratio increases throughout the profitability distribution. Our findings thus suggest that a continuous increase in bank capital requirements does not necessarily result in higher bank profitability.

Regression Approach

The major perspective of this paper is to provide more evidence regarding how “quickly”, in different macroeconomic states, firms adjust their capital structure to their leverage targets. This study extends the empirical research on the topic of capital structure by focusing on a quantile regression model to investigate the behavior of firm-specific and macroeconomic factors across all quantiles of distribution of leverage (book leverage and market leverage). Therefore, depending on a partial adjustment model, we find that the adjustment speed fluctuated in different stages of book versus market leverage. Furthermore, while macroeconomic states change, we detect clear differentiations of the contribution and the effects of the firm-specific and the macroeconomic variables between market leverage and book leverage debt ratios. Consequently, we deduce that across different macroeconomic states the nature and maturity of borrowing influence the persistence and endurance of the relation between determinants and borrowing.
