This paper aims to analyze the nexus between firm fundamentals and financial leverage in Nepalese non-financial firms for the period 2000/01-2017/18 applying descriptive and causal comparative research design. Short-term, long-term and total financial leverage ratios are dependent variables and firm-fundamental variables are considered as explanatory variables. The result of this paper shows that Nepalese firms are highly levered. Regression results of this study reveals that profitability, earning variability, liquidity are major determinants of financial leverage. This study concludes that short-term financial leverage is positively affected by growth and earning variability whereas negatively affected by profitability, tangibility, and liquidity of firms. Similarly, long-term financial leverage is positively influenced by size, assets tangibility, and earning variability whereas negatively influenced by profitability and liquidity. Further, result of the paper reveals positive effect of assets tangibility and earning variability and negative effect of profitability and liquidity on total financial leverage. Finally, this paper concludes that firms’ non-debt tax shield and age of firms have no significant impact on financial leverage in Nepalese non-financial firms.

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.

Main Determinants

<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>

The association of body height with occupational success has been frequently studied, with previous research mainly finding a positive effect among men and positive or null effects among women. Occupational success has almost exclusively been measured so far by short-term success variables (e.g., annual income). In the present study, the relationship of success and height was examined in a group of actors and actresses using a large online database about movies (Internet Movie Database) where heights of actors and actresses are stated. The number of roles played in movies and television series during each actor's lifetime was used as a measure of long-term occupational success. No height effect was found for male actors but a significant negative effect was found for actresses, even after controlling for possible confounding influences (age and birth year). Compared to the general population, actors and actresses were significantly taller; however, actresses who were shorter than average were more likely to achieve greater occupational success, in terms of being featured in more movies.

This paper manipulate the effect of capital structure maturity on firm performance. Debt maturity is measured by three ratios (the long term capital structure, the short term capital structure and total debt ratio). We test a sample consisting of 116 firms from Malaysia and 92 firms from Mexico over a period of 7 years from 2005 to 2011. We could not find evidence on the effect of the long term debt ratio on firm performance. However, firms with higher short term capital structure ratio, are less profitable. This result is valid for firms from Malaysia and Mexico. The results of total debt ratio rare mixed. We conclude to a positive effect for firms of Malaysia and a negative effect for firms of Mexico.
