The objective of this paper is to examine the capital structure practices of the selected pharmaceutical companies in India during 1991-92 to 2009-10. The econometric analysis shows that variables like Profitability, Size, Tangibility, Growth, Risk and Non-debt tax shield are the important determinants of capital structure of the selected pharmaceutical companies in India. The results indicate that most of the determinants of capital structure suggested by capital structure theories appear to be relevant for pharmaceutical firms. In this paper, Debt Equity Ratio has been used as the proxy for capital structure.

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 research aims to provide the influence of non-debt variable tax shield and cost of financial distress affect the capital structure of the company's sub-sector metals and the like listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2013-2017. The method on this research is a quantitative approach with the type of correlation study. The data collection techniques in this study use secondary data with saturated sampling techniques. The population of this research is a metal sub-sector company and the like listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The samples in this study were as many as 16 metal sub-sector companies and the like listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The results showed that both the partial and simultaneous variables of the non-debt tax shield and cost of financial distress had no effect on the capital structure of the metal sub-sector companies and the like listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange ( IDX). It shows that the T-Test in a non-debt tax shield variable is obtained by the T-calculate result of 1.401 and the value of Sig. T. Acquired by 0, 165 > 0.05, then Ho accepted and H1 rejected which means there is no positive influence on the capital structure and in variable cost of financial distress obtained with the result of T-Calculate of 1.756 and the value of Sig. T. Acquired by 0, 083 > 0.05, then Ho is accepted and H1 is rejected which means there is no positive influence on the capital structure. Then simultaneously F test result in can with a fcalculate value of 2.295 with a level of Sig. 0, 108, because of the value of Sig. F > 0.05, then Ho accepted and H1 rejected. This means that there is no variable influence of non debt tax shield (X1) and cost of financial distress (X2) to the capital structure (Y).

The primary aim of this study is to identify the firm-specific determinants of the capital structure of non-financial firms in Turkey and to test whether the determinants offered by financial theory are able to provide convincing explanations for non-financial firms in Turkey. Because the relationship between liquidity and capital structure is not well examined for Turkish market in the context of capital structure theories, we include liquidity as independent variable in our models in addition to profitability, growth, non-debt tax shields, size, tangibility, and risk. We use panel regression as econometric model and cover the period from 2009 to 2016. Our results show that profitability, non-debt tax shield, size, tangibility, and liquidity are significant determinants of the capital structure, size being the most robust one. On the other hand, growth and volatility are not significantly related with the leverage. Moreover, we conclude that capital structure decisions of non-financial firms in Turkey are mostly consistent with the hypothesis of pecking order theory rather than trade-off theory.

The present study has investigated the moderating effect of the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) / European Stability Mechanism (ESM) support to the firms’ indebtness. Using dynamic panel data, three models were estimated and aimed at the determination of the way that EFSF/ESM financial assistance programs could influence the impact of five firm-specific characteristics, namely growth, profitability, size, tangibility and non-debt tax shield on the capital structure of European firms. Data from 2,086 firms for the period 2003 – 2016 were used, and two dummy variables; one for the EFSF/ESM support period and one for any kind of economic crisis period were formed. The results indicated that pecking order prevailed over trade-off theory. Economic crises did not affect severely the firm-characteristics’ effects, but the EFSF/ESM programs influence appeared in three cases. During the period of EFSF/ESM assistance, profitability’s negative effect on long-term debt ratio disappeared and on total debt ratio strengthened, growth’s positive impact on total debt ratio diminished and non-debt tax shield acquired positive influence on total debt ratio. These changes might be explained by the increased levels of tax rates and decreased levels of uncertainty that the EFSF/ ESM programs caused, as well as by the reluctance of lenders to provide new funds.

The aim of this researcher is to test and explain the significance of the effect of liquidity, non-debt tax shields, company size and sales growth on the capital structure of mining sector companies in the Indonesia Stock Exchange. In this study of the total population of 43 mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2013-2016 only 10 companies were selected as samples that met the requirements. The results showed that liquidity partially had a significant negative effect on the capital structure, non-debt tax shield has no significant effect on capital structure, firm size has a significant positive effect on capital structure and sales growth has a significant positive effect on capital structure. Based on these results, management needs to pay attention to the factors that influence the capital structure, especially liquidity, company size and sales growth because these factors have proven to have a significant effect, so it is expected to be able to create an optimal capital structure in order to achieve corporate objectives, namely to improve shareholder welfare. Keywords: capital structure, liquidity, non-debt tax shield

<p><em>Decisions incompliance with the company's funds come fromits own capital (</em><em>equity) or by foreign capital (debt). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of firm size, profitability, business risk, asset structure, cash holdings, non-debt tax shield, signaling and growth effects of capital structure policy. This research was conducted on37samples of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange(IDX) using time series data from 2008-2011. This study uses multiple linear regression to test the hypothesis to see the contribution of each variable individually and simultaneously in influencing the structure of funding. </em><em>The results show that firm size</em><em>, asset structure, and signaling effect has a positive and significant effect on the capital structure policy. Other variables, namely business risk and cash holdings have a negative correlation and significant effect on the capital structure of these results support the trade of theory and pecking order theory. Further testing of profitability, non-debt tax shield and the growth does not affect the capital structure in manufacturing companies. If the company uses debt funding source soft he factors accounting variables such as firm size, asset structure, business risk and the effect of signaling a decisive factor in the decision making of the company's capital structure policy so as to provide optimal results.</em></p>

Fast Moving Consumers Goods (FMCG) sector is the fastest and the fourth largest sector of the Indian economy. This study attempts to identify the critical factors affecting the financing decisions of 15 FMCG companies using panel framework and tries to investigate whether the factors considered provide convincing explanation as per the capital structure models like peking order theory, trade-off theory and Agency theory developed over a period of time. The data are collected from CMIE Prowess database for the period 2008 to 2019. The variables considered are profitability, size, non-debt tax shield, tangibility, uniqueness, liquidity and origin. It is found that Pooled OLS is the appropriate model for explaining the factors influencing the short-term debt, long-term debt and total debt as the dependent variables. It is evident that the short-term debt of the company is influenced by profitability, non-debt tax shield and liquidity of the company; the long-term debt is influenced by profitability, tangibility and origin of the company; and the total debt is affected by profitability, size and liquidity of the company. The factors which are significant confirm to the expected behavior with respect to pecking order theory of capital structure.

This study contributes to the capital structure literature by investigating the determinants of capital structure of firms listed in NSE CNX 500. The period of the study is 2008–2015, the period starting from the year of global slowdown. This study is an attempt to study the capital structure of firms listed in National Stock Exchange in the post liberalization period. The objectives of the study are to study the impact of independent variables such as growth, profitability, tangibility, liquidity, size and non-debt tax shield on financial leverage and also to find out whether the results are in line with the pecking order theory or the trade-off theory of capital structure. Size is taken as a control variable. Our study supports the trade-off theory for all variables such as growth, profitability, size tangibility and non-debt tax shield. Liquidity is the only independent variable that goes in accordance with the pecking order theory. Thus, this study is more inclined towards the trade-off theory.
