<p>The aim of this study is to investigate the determinants of banks’ financial performance in terms of the capital structure. Annual financial statements of 11 banks traded in Borsa Istanbul are employed for the period of 2006-2016. Return on assets, return on equity and earnings per share are chosen for financial performance measures. The independent variables related to the capital structure are capital adequacy, equity-to-asset, and financial leverage ratios. In addition, macroeconomic variables and bank-specific variables are also considered as control variables for the analysis. The data are analyzed by the panel data regression analysis as it provides more informative finding and less multicollinearity among variables than time series and cross-sectional analyzes.</p><p>The Hausman test results indicate that the random effects model is appropriate for the whole dependent variables. According to the findings; while equity-to-asset ratio affects return on assets positively, amongst the control variables specific to firms, firm size, asset quality and asset growth variables have significant effects on return on assets. It is found no significant effect of independent variables on return on equity, however, it is seen that asset quality has a negative and significant effect. Inflation and interest rates have a significant effect on both variables. Finally, it is seen that equity-to-asset ratio has a positive and significant effect on earnings per share. Only the effect of asset quality on earnings per share is found to be significant among the control variables. Findings of the study are consistent with the previous studies. In addition, the M&amp;M views are not supported by the findings related to return on assets and earnings per share but the return on equity.</p>

This paper aims to empirically investigate the impact of capital structure choice on the firm performance of the firms listed under the Dhaka Stock Exchange of Bangladesh. Multiple regression has been employed in this research to determine the relationship between the capital structure and the firm’s financial performance. Three ratios of financial performance, i.e., return on assets, return on equity, and gross margin, have been used as a sample of non-financial Bangladeshi companies, selected from 2010 to 2015. The study records numerous findings. First, the result shows a significant negative influence of long-term debt (LTD) and total debt (TTD) on firm financial performance measured by return on assets (ROA), but no significant relationship is found between short-term debt (STD) and this measure of firm’s financial performance. Moreover, the research found that there is no significant effect of short-term debt, long-term debt and total debt on the firm financial performance measured by return on equity (ROE). Finally, the result shows that a significant negative influence of short-term debt and total debt on firm performance measured by GM, but no significant relationship was found between long-term debt and financial performance. In general terms, the results of this study may suggest that capital structure has a negative influence on firms’ financial performance in Bangladesh.

This research is carried out in the backdrop of increasing product quality and environmental degradation scandals associated with Chinese Pharmaceuticals in recent years. We examined the data of 125 Chinese Pharmaceuticals between 2010–2016 to investigate the impact of overall corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance as well as the performance on five unique aspects of CSR such as shareholders, employees, customers and suppliers, environmental practices, and the society to gauge the impact of these individual dimensions on the firm’s financial performance. The Hexun rating system is used to gauge a firm’s CSR performance on various stakeholder dimensions as it is one of the widely accepted CSR measurement criteria in China. The firm performance is measured by Tobin’s Q, return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), and earnings per share (EPS) ratios. The outcome of the panel-based regression models reveals that the overall CSR score has a positive and significant influence on a firm’s financial indicators. Moreover, although all the CSR dimensions relate positively to firm performance, the environmental aspect of CSR has the most profound impact on firm performance followed by customers and suppliers, and employees. However, the shareholders and social dimensions have a relatively lesser influence on firm performance. These results imply that Chinese Pharmaceuticals shall further optimize each aspect of CSR performance as it can not only create a favorable brand image for various stakeholders but also results in sustainable financial performance.

Capital structure decision plays an imperative role in firm&rsquo;s performance. Recognizing the importance, there has been many studies inspected the rapport of capital structure with performance of firms and findings of those studies are inconclusive. In addition, there is relative deficiency of empirical studies examining the link of capital structure with performance of banks in Bangladesh. This paper attempted to fill this gap. Using panel data of 22 banks for the period of 2005-2014, this study empirically examined the impacts of capital structure on the performance of Bangladeshi banks assessed by return on equity, return on assets and earnings per share. Results from pooled ordinary least square analysis show that there are inverse impacts of capital structure on bank&rsquo;s performance. Empirical findings of this study is of greater significance for the developing countries like Bangladesh because it will call upon concentration of the bank management and policy makers to pursue such policies to reduce reliance on debt and to accomplish optimal level capital structure. This research also contributes to empirical literatures by reconfirming (or otherwise) findings of previous studies.
