This is a preliminary study developed to explore the determinants of capital structure of Shariah-compliant firms listed in Bursa Malaysia. This study is primarily motivated by the issue of the determinants still being inconclusive in the area of capital structure. The study is performed using the static models namely Pool Ordinary Least Square, Fixed Effect and Random Effect Model. Empirical analysis on the determinants reveals that country specific factor which is GDP and sector specific factor which is industry concentration are also significant in influencing the corporate financing decisions in this country along with firm specific factors such as efficiency, bankruptcy risk, profitability, tangibility, liquidity and size of the firm. The findings revealed that results are sensitive to models employed in the study. Nevertheless, the applicability of capital structure theories such as the trade-off theory, agency theory and pecking order theory diverge across sectors in Malaysia. The pecking order theory and agency theory are found to be the dominant theories governing the corporate financing decision in the country as well. It indicates strong evidence of hierarchy practised in firms’ financing decision. The finding on agency theory being dominant justifies the function of short-term debt as a controlling mechanism to mitigate the agency problem arises within firms across sectors.

The Capital Structure

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to examine whether or not the basic premises according to the pecking order theory provide an explanation for the capital structure mix of firms operating under Islamic principles. Pooled OLS and random effect regressions were performed to test the pecking order theory applying data from a sample of 66 Islamic firms listed on Kingdom of Saudi Arabia stock market over the period 2006–2016. The results show that sale-based instruments (Murabahah, Ijara) track the financial deficit quite closely followed by equity financing and as the last alternative to finance deficit, Islamic firms issue Sukuk. In the crisis period, these firms seem more reliant on equity, then on sale-based instrument and on Sukuk as last option. The study findings also indicate that the cumulative financing deficit does not wipe out the effects of conventional variables, although it is empirically significant. This provides no support for the pecking order theory attempted by Saudi Islamic firms. This research highlights the capital structure choice of firms operating under Islamic principles. It explores the implication of the relevant Islamic principles on corporate financing preferences. It can serve firm executive managers in their financing decisions to add value to the companies.

O presente trabalho testa se a teoria conhecida como Pecking Order Theory ou Teoria de Hierarquização de Fontes de Financiamento (THFF) fornece explicação empírica para a estrutura de capital das empresas no Brasil. De acordo com essa teoria, a estrutura de capital seria resultante de um funding hierarquizado, em que os recursos gerados internamente teriam prioridade, seguidos pela emissão de dívida e, apenas em último caso, pela emissão de ações. Em sua forma forte, a THFF sustenta que emissões de ações nunca ocorreriam, enquanto, em sua forma fraca, volumes limitados de emissões são aceitáveis. A metodologia do estudo empírico envolve regressões em cross-section e testes de hipóteses para especificações oriundas da teoria em questão para as formas forte e fraca. Os resultados levam a concluir que a teoria testada, em sua forma fraca, é aplicável às empresas brasileiras, o mesmo não ocorrendo com a sua forma forte. Mostram, também, que a qualidade de ajustamento das regressões para o Brasil é significativamente melhor do que aquelas relatadas para empresas norte-americanas e que as empresas brasileiras parecem estar mais próximas da forma forte da THFF do que as norte-americanas. A amostra consiste de 132 empresas de capital aberto e os dados contábeis referem-se a 2001.

Estudos sobre a estrutura de capital e a identificação de seus determinantes são temas relevantes nas pesquisas envolvendo a gestão financeira das empresas. Neste aspecto, o presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os determinantes da alavancagem das empresas do agronegócio brasileiro conforme o modelo de Rajan e Zingales (1995). Na definição da amostra, foram selecionadas 26 empresas que estavam enquadradas em alguma das três subdivisões do agronegócio brasileiro: a) o setor de produção agropecuária; b) setor fornecedor de insumos e fatores de produção e c) setor de processamento e distribuição, com base em classificação da CNA (Confederação da Agricultura e Pecuária do Brasil). O estudo foi feito com base no banco de dados da Economática®, tendo sido utilizado o modelo de regressão com dados em painel. Os resultados indicaram que as variáveis tangibilidade dos ativos, oportunidadede crescimento, tamanho e lucratividade foram estatisticamente significantes e podem ser interpretadas como fatores determinantes do endividamento das empresas do agronegócio brasileiro. Conclui-se, ainda, que o modelo estimado por meio da regressão com dados em painel gerou resultado compatível com aqueles preconizados pela pecking order theory.

The Capital Structure

The present investigation refers to the determinants of the capital structure, using the technique of multiple regression through Panel Data of open capital companies in the stock exchanges of Argentina, Brazil and Chile, in order to know the behavior of determinants of the capital structure in relation to Trade-Off Theory (TOT) and Pecking Order Theory (POT). The POT offers the existence of a hierarchy in the use of sources of resources, while the TOT considers the existence of a target capital structure that would be pursued by the company. Sixteen accounting variables were used, in which five are dependent (related to indebtedness) and eleven are independent variables (explaining the determinants of the capital structure). It is observed that, with the use of the Panel Data, the determinants that seem to influence in a more accentuated way the levels of debt of the companies are: current liquidity, tangibility, return to shareholders, return of assets, sales growth, asset growth, market-to-book and business risk measured by the volatility of benefits. Suggestions for future research include the use of Panel Data to analyze other factors that may influence indebtedness, mainly taxes and dividends, as well as a deeper analysis of factors that may influence the speed of adjustment towards the supposed objective level.

This study examines the effects of asset tangibility, profitability, size and liquidity on capital structure (debt leverage) across the construction companies operating in in Europe and Central Asia region using the data between 1993 and 2019. The study documents that the capital structure and other financial ratios under study differ across countries, even in the same industry. Book leverage is found to be significantly negatively related to asset tangibility, profitability and liquidity in accordance with pecking order theory. In particular, fixed ratio has a negative effect on debt ratio in Russia and Romania, but no effect in other countries under study. The effect of size disappears when time dummy variables are introduced.
