Tax exhaustion effect hypothesis says that firms with low expected marginal tax rates on their interest deductions employ less debt in their capital structure. We use logit analysis to study how financing decision is related to tax after controlling non tax effects. We treat non debt tax shields as proxy of marginal corporate tax rates which affect the probability of using the deductibility of debt tax shields and empirically test the tax effect on financing decision in Korea. In conclusion, we provide evidence that debt financing is positively related to tax in the former sub-period. This results partially support for tax exhaustion effect hypothesis and low tax rate firms have lower debt levels than high tax rate firms.

We try to find the determinants of fisheries firms' capital structure during the years from 1992 to 2007 in this paper. We also have a comparative analysis of capital raising behavior in pre and post-IMF financial crisis. Regression analysis is used for this empirical study. Dependent variable is leverage ratio and independent variables are firm size, operating risk, proportion of tangible asset, non-debt tax shield effect, sales growth ratio, profitability and dummy variable. We compared the characteristics of fisheries industry with that of manufacturing industy. The determinants of fisheries firms' capital structure and correlation between pre and post-IMF financial crisis are roughly same as the hypothses except a little difference. As a peculiar difference, corrlation between fisheries firms' operating risk and leverage ratio is (+) in the pre-IMF financial crisis, but (-) in the post-IMF financial crisis. Proportion of tangible asset has a (+) correlation with leverage ratio in pre and post-IMF financial crisis, but in case of manufacturing industy, (-) correlation shows in the pre-IMF financial crisis. Because, in the pre-IMF financial crisis, high proportion of tangible asset doesn't play a role of a collateral, but only increase the bankruptcy probability. Non-debt tax shield effect and leverage ratio have (-) correlation in all industry and all period, but only (+) correlation in case of fisheries industry in the pre-IMF financial crisis. Sales growth ratio has no significant relationship with leverage ratio in fisheries industry, and this is not coincide with our hypothsis. We have a limitation of the sample size of fisheries firms and sample period in this study. Further study is required to classify the fisheries industry with in-shore fisheries, deep sea fisheries and cold storage industry.

지금까지 기업의 자본구조에 관한 이론적, 실증적 연구가 무수히 이루어졌지만 중견기업에 관한 연구는 존재하지 않았다. 이 논문은 한국 중견기업의 자본구조를 결정하는 요인이 무엇인가를 실증적으로 탐색하는 연구로서, 2010년부터 2016년까지 한국의 유가증권시장과 코스닥에 상장된 제조업 중견기업을 대상으로 하였다. 부채비율을 종속변수로 하고, 기존연구에서 의미있는 것으로 제시된 변수들 중에서 이용이 가능한 수익성, 기업규모, 자산의 유형성, 비부채성 세금절감을 독립변수로 선정하여 회귀분석을 시행한 결과, 회귀계수들의 유의성이 대체로 높게 나타났다. 제조업 중견기업 표본을 전체산업과 10개의 산업별로 구분하여 분석한 결과 설명변수들 중에서 기업의 수익성이 증가함에 따라 부채비율도 증가하는 뚜렷한 결과를 얻었으며, 유형자산이 증가함에 따라 기업의 레버리지도 대체로 증가했으며, 기업의 비부채성세금절감액이 증가할수록 예상과 달리 부채비율은 전체적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate empirically the characteristics of financial structure by using 76 fisheries corporations in Korea, and to suggest implications of the empirical results for government's financial policy for fisheries corporations. For the empirical test, we choose the following factors as the explanatory variables of cross-sectional regression analysis:firm-size(SIZE), collateral value of assets(TFATA), business risk(BRISK), growth(GROWTH), effective tax(ET), profitability(PROFIT). Two different debt ratios are used as dependent variables. One is defined as the ratio of total debt to total assets and the other is as that of long-term debt to total asset in terms of book value. The sample consists of 76 fisheries firms and sample period is 14 years from 1982 till 1995. From the results of cross-sectional regression analysis, the adjusted R$^2$values were high, 16∼79% and the overall F values indicated to be statistically significant. The results of cross sectional regression analysis show that the characteristics of financial structure fur fisheries corporations are as follows ; (1) Firm-size and collateral value of assets are the major factors of financial structure for fisheries corporations. That is, the larger firm-size the higher is debt ratio. This means that financial institutions conventionally lend more collateral loans with fixed assets like land, building rather than management capacities or credits. (2) To be consistent with a pecking-order theory, the higher is profitability the lower is debt ratio in fisheries corporations. (3) Corporations with high effective tax rate have lower financial leverage. Although the empirical results are inconsistent with traditional static trade-off theory, we think it would be attributed to government's various tax shelterings for fisheries which are likely to reduce tax shield effect of interests.

This paper attempts to investigate the determinants of capital structure of Vietnamese firms and also shed light on some of the factors of the modern theory of capital structure which is relevant for explaining the capital structure in advanced countries which are also relevant in the context of Vietnam. Using panel data from more than 1000 Vietnamese listed enterprises census 2017-2020, the paper finds that leverage ratio of Vietnamese firms is significantly related to probability. The firms have high level of fixed assets which they use as collateral, resulting in higher debt ratio, which is in line with the pecking order theory. The result also confirm that highly targeted debt ratio is positively correlated with the industry characteristics (using real estate firms as a benchmark), in which firm operates. Furthermore, consistent with the trade-off hypothesis, the leverage ratio is positively affected by non - debt tax shield. The result confirms that a large number of companies are state - owned, will have an insignificant impact of firm's size (as reverse proxy for bankruptcy cost) on leverage ratio. We also find that there is no distinction between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises due to strict adherence to the rules set by the Vietnamese government. Distinct from other countries, corporate income tax has slight impact on capital structure in Vietnamese firms.

중국의 전체 산업 중 기업 수를 토대로 볼 때 중소기업이 차지하는 비중은 99%이고, 종업원 수는 80%를 차지하며, 중국 국내총생산(GDP)의 60%를 차지하고 있어 중국 내 중소기업은 중국의 경제성장에 매우 중요한 영향을 미치고 있다. 이러한 시점에서 본 논문은 중국 심천증권거래소에 상장된 기업들 중 제조업에 속하는 45개 중소기업들을 대상으로 다중회귀분석을 이용하여 자본구조가 어떠한 요인들에 의하여 결정되는지를 확인하고자 하는데 연구목적이 있다. 본 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 성장성은 부채비율에 1% 유의수준에서 유의적인 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 수익성은 부채비율에 1% 유의수준에서 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 기업규모는 부채비율에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 담보가치, 비부채성 절세효과는 부채비율에 약한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 본 연구는 투자자들에 대한 정보제공과 중국 중소기업의 재무구조 개선을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

The paper attempts to investigate the optimal capital structure of Vietnamese listed firms based on a structural approach. Using the data from around 70 companies in the Consumer Staples sector listed on the Vietnamese Stock Exchange during the period 2018-2020, this study finds that the optimal capital structure of examined companies has a wide range of diversification. This can be explained by the various types of actual products for each typical firm within the chosen sector. The result also confirms that a large proportion of researched firms were actually overleveraged, which is consistent with the trade-off hypothesis that firms wish to take tax advantages while using more debt, which creates the benefits from tax-shield. Furthermore, the research highlights the reversed correlation, which suggests that the lower the company's risk (the lower the sigma of the assets), the greater the optimal capital structure is suggested. Another interesting finding is that almost all consumer staples companies have a better optimal capital structure under the Leland and Toft (1996) model than under the Leland (1994) model. Furthermore, there is a strong correlation of optimal financial leverage ratio between years. In other words, the optimal debt levels of the latter year are strongly dependent on the gearing levels of the previous years.

Based on the findings of a study focused on medical institutions(Fama & French, 2002), this study determined possible causality between determinants of capital structure and liability level, while estimating targeted debt ratio. Moreover, it also examined hypotheses about the adjustment of targeted debt ratio and the of fundraising patterns, so that it verified the relative priority of trade-off theory and pecking order theory. First, profitability had positive(+) relationships with liability level, while investment opportunities had negative(-) relationships with liability level. This finding supported pecking order theory, and non-liability tax shield effects had negative(-) relationships with liability level as estimated in both trade-off theory and pecking order theory. Next, this study verified trade-off and pecking order theory at once by means of regression analysis about the variation of liability level in associations with disparity from targeted debt ratio and short-term fluctuation of profit and investment. As a result, it was noted that liability level became mean-reversed to targeted liability ratio but slowly, SO it was difficult to assert that such mean reverse may support trade-off theory. However, the finding that most of short-term fluctuations of profit and investment are absorbed into liabilities supported pecking order theory. On the other hand, it was found that the larger scale of medical institutions is more supportive of pecking order theory in the associations between liability level and profitability and the fundraising patterns than trade-off theory.

글로벌금융위기 이후 우리나라 해운산업은 기업퇴출, 자본잠식, 법정관리 등 다양한 형태로 불황을 맞고 있다. 경기변화에 민감하고, 선박확보에 거대자본이 요구된다는 점을 감안할 때 자본구조의 최적화는 기업가치를 극대화할 수 있는 기초가 되고, 기업부실화를 극복할 수 있는 수단이 될 것이다. 이에 본 연구는 선행연구들을 바탕으로 10년 이상 적격 감사보고서를 제출한 국내 46개 해운기업을 대상으로 자본구조와 기업특성 간 관계를 해운경기변화를 고려하여 규명해보고자 하였다. 실증결과, 국내 해운기업의 자본구조는 기업규모, 자산유형화정도, 수익성, 비부채성세금효과 등과는 부(-)의 관계가, 성장성은 정(+)의 관계가 있음 실증되었다. 해운경기반영 모형별 진단에서는 상대적으로 불황기모형은 전체기간 분석결과와 큰 차이를 보이지 않은 반면, 상대적 호황기모형에서는 유동성이 추가적으로 유의하였으며, 비부채성세금효과와 성장성은 유의하지 않음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 글로벌 상장해운기업을 대상으로 한 기존연구들과 연구결과에서 큰 차이는 없었으나, 비부채성세금효과, 선박유형화정도, 성장성이 국내 해운기업에 추가적으로 유의함을 확인할 수 있었다. 하지만, 국내 해운기업의 자본구조관련 연구를 보다 강화하기 위해서는 목표부채비율, 조정속도 등의 연구가 추가적으로 진행될 필요성은 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the determinants of the capital structure of firms operating in a developing economy, Pakistan. The quantile regression method is applied on a sample of 183 non-financial companies listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange during the period of 2008-2017. Specifically, the empirical analysis focuses on changes in the coefficients of the determinants according to the leverage ratio quantiles of the examined listed firms. The findings show that the capital structure of Pakistan listed firms differs between firms in different quantiles of leverage. These differences are significant with the sign of explanatory variables changes with the level of leverage. The research result found tangibility, profitability and age to be positively related to leverage among listed firms in Pakistan. However, size, liquidity and non-debt tax shield (NDTS) are negatively related to leverage. A firm's growth and risk are found to be insignificant predictors of capital structure in Pakistan listed firms. Moreover, the study also found a significant impact of industry characteristic on leverage. The findings of this study indicate that an individual firm's finance policy needs to be responsive to the firm's characteristics and should match with the different borrowing requirements of listed firms.
