The data consist of 150 publicly listed non-financial firms from 8 non-financial industries in Indonesia. Panel data for the selected firms were generated and analyzed using both fixed effect model and random effect. The result shows that capital structure (DAR) has a significant impact on firms' performance (ROA, ROE, and GPM) and has no significant impact of capital structure on firms' performance caused by industry differences. Infrastructure, utilities, and transportation industry has the strongest industry effect on the impact of capital structure on firms' performance.

This study examines the use of trade credits by firms that are in a state of financial distress. Trade credit is short-term financing that can be useful for firms in financial distress. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of financial distress on trade credit. The study sample was taken from non-financial firms listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2007 to 2016. The research method is panel data regression by using the estimation model of the fixed-effect model and random effect. This study found that firms in financial distress tend to increase the use of trade credit. This is reflected from the results of research showing the positive and significant coefficients on the variable financial distress on the ratio of trade payable to the cost of goods sold and the ratio of trade payable to equity. Based on the results of the study it can be explained that firms that are in a state of financial distress have a larger current liability, its source from short-term financing.

The different capital structure theories propose the possible asymmetric behavior of capital structure. Thus, this paper empirically investigates whether non-financial Jordanian firms follow symmetrical or asymmetrical adjustment model. Then, an interaction model with the size and profitability (firm characteristics) investigated the impact of low/high profit and small/large size on the adjustment of leverage towards the target leverage ratio. This paper covered the period of 14 years (2002-2015) for a total of 110 companies listed on Amman Stock Exchange (75 industrial and 35 services). Results indicate that although Jordanian firms seek a target leverage ratio, their adjustment towards that target is Asymmetrical and high profitable and large companies tend to adjust faster than low profitable and small size companies.

Purpose- Aim of this study was to investigate whether the credit rating is an important determinant other than the firm's characteristic to obtain optimal capital structure focusing on the research hypothesis that the firms with higher credit along with the other factors (FTOA, ROA and Size) tend to have more debt in their capital structure of firms rated by P?CR? and Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE). Methodology/Sample- For this research, sample size of 48 observations (3 years data of 16 firms) was taken on the basis of convenience sampling. Results obtained by using Ordinary Least Square Model (OLS) as statistical tool to test the hypothesis Findings- Analysis clearly suggested that credit ratings do have an impact on firm's capital structure. It was concluded that firms with higher credit ratings along with other factors (FTOA, ROA and Size) do not tend to have more debt in their capital structure. Implications- Outcomes of this research might help investors, debtors and other stakeholders of the firms (rated by PACRA) to understand the impact of credit rating on firm's debt ratio and the overall dynamics and mechanism of capital structure.

The current study links the information contents of the three main financial statements in a balanced panel data model to empirically examine the effect of cash flows per share and capital structure on shareholder value. The results of the study are based on a sample of 270 firm-year observations from the Jordanian commercial banks and insurance companies that listed on Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) from 2011 to 2019. Based on the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) with Driscoll-Kraay standard errors, the empirical results show that cash flows from operating activities per share had a positive and significant relationship with shareholder value, whereas both the cash flows from investing and financing activities per share had negative but insignificant relationship with shareholders’ value. Results also show that capital structure had a negative but insignificant relationship with shareholder value. Finally, the results indicate that dividend per share had a positive and significant relationship with shareholder value. Accordingly, decision-makers should direct cash to efficient investment projects in order for cash outflows from investing activities to create value to shareholders and to generate positive cash flows from financing activities. Similarly, an appropriate capital structure should be selected to create value for shareholders.
