The determinants of capital structure across firms’ sizes: The U.K evidence

This paper explores the leverage determinants across firms’ sizesbased on the two main theories behind the capital structure, the trade-offand the pecking order theories. A panel data is sued to find therelationship between capital structure and the variables that proxy forbenefits and costs of debt during 1990 to 2006. Our findings show thatboth principles help to explain the capital structure...

Do Firms Rebalance their Capital Structure?

We empirically examine the trade-off theory of capital structure, allowing for infrequent adjustment. After showing that the behavior of financing decisions (security issuances and retirements) is consistent with direct evidence on external financing costs, we use a dynamic duration model to show that firms behave as though adhering to a dynamic trade-off policy in which they actively rebalance...
