<p>Liquidity is said to be the lifeblood of stock markets. It has prominent implications for traders, regulators, stock exchanges and the listed firms. In recent years a huge amount of literature has emerged that deals with liquidity. This article classifies and organises the literature and provides a critical review of the frameworks currently available for modelling liquidity and its macroeconomic and firm specific drivers. Commonality and intraday behaviour of liquidity in various markets is discussed under the umbrella of market microstructures.  Subsequently, liquidity risk as a factor in Asset pricing is analysed taking various models in to consideration. Finally, the study reviewed the impact of liquidity on corporate finance decisions viz. dividends, firm valuation, stock split, capital structure etc.</p>

This study aims to examine whether the capital structure and several factors have significant influences on firm value in Vietnam. To achieve this objective, 435 non-financial listed companies have been selected from 2012 to 2019 on Vietnamese stock exchanges. Four groups of firms continue to be chosen from the total to investigate the differences in the outcomes among industries. The results altogether using the GMM method show that the impact of capital structure and other control variables on firm value is significant, yet different across industries: capital structure has a significant positive impact on firm value in the food and beverage industry, but has a significant negative effect on the value of the firm in wholesale trade and construction, as well as real estate industry, while has an insignificant influence on enterprise value considering all industries. Apart from the firm size, the impact of other control factors on firm value also indicates mixed results.

The aim of this empirical study is to explore the factors that affect the capital structure of construction firms and to investigate whether the capital structure models derived from Western settings provide convincing explanations for capital structure decisions of the Malaysia firms. This study focuses on Shariah compliant construction companies since this industry has been contributing significantly towards Malaysia economic growth. In addition, this study also includes the impact of financial crisis towards firms’ capital structure decision. Panel data from 11 Shariah compliant construction companies in Malaysia were analyzed for duration of 17 years (2001-2017). Different conditional theories of capital structure are reviewed i.e. trade‐off theory, pecking order theory, agency theory, and theory of free cash flow, in order to formulate testable propositions concerning the determinants of capital structure of the construction firms. The dependent variable that being used is debt ratio, while independent variables are firm size, profitability, tangible asset, growth opportunity, liquidity, and crisis respectively. Finding indicates that firm size, profitability and tangible asset are significant towards debt ratio. However, other variables including financial crisis did not have any significant impact on capital structure decision. The results of this study provide important implication to investors and manager of firms in making best decision on capital structure. This study also adds values to the existing knowledge regarding determinants of capital structure and financial crisis.

Abstract This paper examine the impact of capital structure on firm performance, in Indonesian Stock Exchange. Firm performance are analyzed from the side of accounting indicators, in this research use liquidity. Because the optimal level of debt of the firm is limited by the liquidity of the assets and it depends on the average usage of the debt in the particular industry. In the other side liquidity  is  conventionally  seen  as  reflecting  investors’  degree  of  risk -aversion, The study collects  of listed firms in Indonesian Stock Exchanges during 2011 to 2012. The listed firms on sub sector trade, services and investment. Multiple Regression analysis approach was employed in carrying out this analysis. Specifically, determined the simultaneous relationships among the various variables. The results show that as partial total debt to asset significantly influences to company’s performance but long term debt to asset not significantly influences to company’s performance. Simultaneously, total debt to asset and  long term debt to asset influences company’s performance. This evidence is consistent with models of optimal capital structure and with the hypothesis that debt level changes release information about changes in firm value/performance.

Seeking for the optimal capital structure lasts for more than 50 years and still is very topical, especially during the market turmoil as it happened in 2008. No perfect answer is yet provided to the question of how large debt amount should be kept on the accounts. The main objective of the present paper is to analyze the impact of capital structure decisions on the equity performance and on the profitability of the companies located in Baltics. The study covered the time period of 4 years (from 2007 till 2010) and the sample data of 36 “blue-chip” companies listed on the Baltic Stock exchanges. The results of the study discover positive relationship between stock performance and sufficiency of equity capital. Besides, there was found an inverse relationship between the level of debt and capital profitability confirming the pecking order theory that in the best case the company should use self-generated funds. Santrauka Optimalios kapitalo struktūros siekiama daugiau nei 50 metų ir tai vis dar yra labai aktualu, ypač per finansų krizę, įvykusią 2008 m. Kol kas nėra gauta galutinio atsakymo į klausimą – kokio dydžio skola turi būti laikoma sąskaitose. Pagrindinis šio straipsnio tikslas – išnagrinėti kapitalo struktūros sprendimų įtaką akcijų rinkai ir Baltijos šalių įmonių pelningumui. Tyrimas apėmė ketverių metų laikotarpį (nuo 2007 m. iki 2010 m.) ir 36 patikimiausių akcijų ,,blue chips“ duomenų, įtrauktų į Baltijos vertybinių popierių biržų sąrašus, pavyzdžius. Atlikus tyrimą nustatytas teigiamas ryšys tarp akcijų ir akcinio kapitalo pakankamumo. Be to, buvo nustatytas atvirkštinis ryšys tarp skolos lygio ir kapitalo pelningumo, patvirtinančio kapojimo kvotos teoriją, kad geriausiu atveju kompanija panaudos savo sukuriamus išteklius.

The main objective of this paper is to study the impact of capital structure and capital ownership form of SOEs after equitization. We have considered all 137 state-owned companies after equitization for which data can be collected during the period from 2007 to 2017. These encompass companies in different industries listed on the HOSE (Ho Chi Minh City) and HNX (Hanoi) stock exchanges. To this end, we have applied REM and FEM models and corrected for variance with the GLS and FEM models. Our findings reveal that the variable leverage (LEV) has a negative impact on ROA, but, interestingly, has a positive impact on ROE and Tobin’s Q. Growth rate (GROWTH) have a positive effect on both ROA and Tobin’s Q. State ownership (SO) has only positive impact on ROA. Meanwhile, the company size variable (SIZE) has a positive impact on Tobin’s Q. In addition, in relation to our examination of how the domestic and foreign resources might impact on the profitability ratio, we have observed that the domestic equity ratio has a positive impact on both ROA and ROE whereas the foreign ownership ratio has a negative impact on both ROA and ROE.

This paper aims to examine the impact of external credit ratings on the financial decisions of the firms in Pakistan.  This study uses the annual data of 70 non-financial firms for the period 2012-2018. It uses ordinary least square (OLS) to estimate the impact of credit rating on capital structure. The results show that rated firm has a high level of leverage. Moreover, Profitability and tanagability are also found to be a significantly negative determinant of the capital structure, whereas, size of the firm has a significant positive relationship with the capital structure of the firm.  Besides, there exists a non-linear relationship between the credit rating and the capital structure. The rated firms have higher leverage as compared to the non-rated firms. The high and low rated firms have a low level of leverage, while mid rated firms have a higher leverage ratio. The finding of the study have practical implications for the manager; they can have easier access to the financial market by just having a credit rating no matter high or low. Policymakers must stress upon the rating agencies to keep improving themselves as their rating severs as the measure to judge the creditworthiness of the firm by both the investors and management as well.
