Abstract

This study performed empirical analyses of the static trade-off theory and the pecking order theory which explain financing behavior of firms. The results of regression analyses using the data of 762 listed non-financing firms on the KOSDAQ market from 2000 to 2010 have shown mixed evidences supporting either the trade-off theory or the pecking order theory. Specifically, as the effective tax rate and the firm size increases, debt ratio increases, which is consistent with the trade-off theory. However as the growth opportunity and the profitability increases, debt ratio decreases, which is consistent with the pecking order theory.

이 논문은 기업의 자본조달과 자본구조를 설명하는 이론으로 대표적인 정태적 절충이론과 자본조달순위이론을 2000년부터 2010년까지 11년간의 기간에 걸쳐서 한국의 중소기업이 주로 상장되어 운영되는 코스닥시장을 대상으로 분석하였다. 코스닥 시장에 거래된 금융업을 제외한 762개의 표본에 대해 전체기간, 전반기 및 하반기의 하위기간으로 구분하여 회귀분석한 결과 부채사용으로 인한 법인세 절약효과와 기업규모 증가에 따라 부채비율이 증가하는 정태적 절충이론의 주장이 일부 지지되지만, 성장기회가 많을수록 부채사용을 선호하고, 수익성이 높을수록 유보이익과 같은 내부자금을 선호함에 따라 레버리지가 감소하는 자본조달순위이론도 일부 지지하는 결과를 얻었으나 감가상각비 등을 이용한 비부채 세금절약은 자본조달 의사결정에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 분석되었다.
