Introduction Pavement texture is defined by the irregularities on a pavement surface that deviate from an ideal, perfectly flat surface. As shown in Figure 1, the World Road Association (PIARC) has established standard categories of texture, classified by wavelength. These categories include microtexture (wavelengths up to 0.5 mm), macrotexture (0.5 to 50 mm), megatexture (50 to 500 mm), and ro...

Based on two sub-samples of SMEs: i) 135 high-tech SMEs; and ii) 330 non high-tech SMEs, using panel data models and the two-step estimation method, this study investigates if the capital structure decisions of high-tech SME and non high-tech SMEs are closer to what is predicted by Pecking Order Theory, or if they are closer to what is predicted by Trade-Off Theory. The results suggest that the...
