我国农业上市公司资本结构影响因素实证研究

笔者对我国34家农业上市公司的资本结构影响因素进行了单因素方差分析、pearson相关性分析和回归分析,结果表明:区域因素、公司规模、股权结构、成长性、资产担保价值对农业上市公司的资本结构影响不显著;经营业绩和现金流量水平与资产负债率和流动负债率负相关;非债务税盾与长期负债率正相关。     

我国上市公司资本结构影响因素研究

影响公司资本结构选择的因素主要有企业规模、盈利性、资产的可抵押性、折旧、流动比率等。     

中小企业板上市公司资本结构与经营业绩实证研究

选取2006年至2010年在深圳证券交易所中小企业板公司数据作为研究样本,采用多元回归实证研究方法对中小企业板上市公司资本结构与经营业绩之间的关系进行研究,得出结论认为:中小企业板上市公司业绩与资产负债率呈显著正相关关系,说明负债对公司业绩存在一定的影响作用;经营业绩与公司规模显著正相关,说明公司规模的大小在一定程度对经营业绩的影响比较显著;经营业绩与长期借款负债率和短期借款负债率均呈显著负相关关系,由于长期借款和短期借款需要偿还利息,这样它们对公司资本结构就产生直接影响,尤其是偿还期在一年以下的长短期借款对公司资本结构的影响更大,从而对经营业绩的影响愈强。最后针对研究结论,提出切实可行的政策建议。     

CEO财务经历与资本结构决策的描述性统计研究

公司的融资决策会受到CEO的财务经历影响,进而影响公司的资本结构。通过对有财务经历和无财务经历的CEO的个人特征进行描述性统计,以控制组与处理组中的长期资本负债率为研究对象,对比CEO变更前后的相关变化,得出结论:CEO的变更事项发生后,有财务经历的CEO所在的公司,长期资本负债率较高;CEO具有财务经历这一特征对公司的成长性、盈利能力和自由现金流量有影响,会在成长性、盈利能力、公司规模、资产抵押性作用于公司的融资决策时产生影响,对自由现金流量作用于资本结构的过程产生促进作用。但无法明确判断CEO的财务经历是否会对管理者持股比例、国有股比重和非债务税盾作用于资本结构的过程产生影响。     

中小企业板上市公司上市前后的资本结构与绩效分析

为了研究中小企业板的推出对于中小企业上市公司资本结构与绩效的影响,本文以中小企业板上市公司为对象,选取2004年上市的38家上市公司为样本,对其资本结构与经营绩效的关系进行了实证研究。实证结果表明:资本结构与经营业绩的关系上市前后则基本相同:资产负债率与企业绩效呈负相关关系;长期负债率与企业绩效则没有显著的线性关系。     

汽车制造业企业资本结构经营绩效研究——基于2015-2017年A股上市公司数据

汽车制造业是工业经济的传统支柱产业,近几年受到复杂的宏观经济和企业内部微观层面影响,汽车产业发展增速放缓,企业间绩效不平衡。利用SPSS19.0软件对汽车上市企业资本结构与企业绩效的关系进行研究,发现企业绩效随着资产负债率、流通股比例的适当增加而增加,随着大股东持股比例的提高而降低,而长期负债率与企业绩效之间的关系并不显著,并提出完善企业资本结构,注重负债融资;鼓励大股东减持,促进股东性质的多元化等相关建议。     

非债务税盾与资本结构的影响研究——基于创业板上市公司的实证检验

由于企业税盾效应的存在,企业在安排资本结构时要充分考虑债务和非债务税盾的影响。以创业板上市公司为基础,通过建立非债务税盾与资本结构的方程模型,考察创业板上市公司非债务税盾与资本结构之间的关系。研究结果表明,在资本结构中非债务税盾与资本结构呈显著负相关关系,并且对盈利性、偿债能力、资产担保价值三个因素也具有显著影响。提出健全创业板制度体系,保障企业上市融资;完善资本市场,支持创业板企业;加强企业内部控制,提高上市公司质量;加强企业融资规律研究,完善创业板企业融资理论的对策建议。     

基于分位数回归的制造业上市公司资本结构影响因素分析

论文以我国制造业上市公司的相关统计数据为研究对象对不同财务杠杆水平下资本结构的影响因素进行回归分析,结果发现,在不同的负债水平下,企业的盈利能力、公司规模、资产的有形性和产生内部资源的能力在不同分位数水平下对于企业资本结构的影响程度不同,避免了传统的OLS回归只能获取一组系数的估计值误差。     

资本结构影响因素的实证分析

一直以来,资本结构都是国内外财务理论研究的重点课题,其研究内容也主要集中在资本结构影响因素,资本结构与企业绩效相互关系这两个方面。本文以江苏上市公司为例,分析研究了其资本结构影响因素,实证表明,企业的偿债能力、成长性、规模与资本结构存在正相关关系,企业的盈利能力与资本结构存在负相关关系。另发现,江苏省上市公司负债率跟全国相比有待提高,负债结构有待改善合理。     

业态战略、企业规模、资本结构与零售企业成长——以零售上市公司为样本

作为零售企业成长中同时存在的两种战略,多业态战略和单一业态战略本身各有其利弊。在企业规模与资本结构的共同作用下,单一业态战略相较于多业态战略对零售企业成长的影响较大;企业规模与零售企业成长显著正相关;资产负债率对零售企业成长有显著的正向作用,而长期负债率对零售企业成长则有显著的负向影响;企业年龄与零售企业成长之间存在负向关系,但关系强度较弱,且在统计上不显著;区域类型对零售企业成长没有显著影响。为了促进零售企业成长,零售企业要发展自己的主力业态,使之成为企业成长的支柱,然后在时机成熟时向多业态的盈利模式转化;要进行适度的规模扩张;要确定资本结构的合理水平,并从根本上降低长期负债率。     

How SME Uniqueness Affects Capital Structure: Evidence From A 1994–1998 Spanish Data Panel

The principal aim of this paper is to test how firm characteristics affect Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) capital structure. We carry out an empirical analysis of panel data of 6482 non-financial Spanish SMEs during the five years period 1994–1998, modelling the leverage ratio as a function of firm specific attributes hypothesized by capital structure theory. Our results suggest that non-debt tax shields and profitability are both negatively related to SME leverage, while size, growth options and asset structure influence positively SME capital structure; they also confirm a maturity matching behaviour in this firm group.     

On the adjustment speed of SMEs to their optimal capital structure

The aim of this paper is to analyse the speed of adjustment of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to the target leverage. By applying a system GMM technique to Spanish panel data collected during the period 1995?C2005, we estimate a partial adjustment model in which both target leverage and speed of adjustment are simultaneously endogenized. We provide empirical evidence on the determinants of target leverage and the speed of adjustment. More specifically, the rate of financial flexibility, growth opportunities and size are positively related to the speed of adjustment, whereas the distance to the optimal ratio of debt shows a negative impact. Our findings demonstrate that, in terms of sample mean, a high percentage of Spanish SMEs adjust rationally to their target. Additionally, the SMEs analysed appeared to be over-levered and fairly motivated to adjust (annual adjustment speed: 26%).     

Quantity and quality of information and SME financial structure

We test whether the amount and/or quality of financial statement information affects the financial structure of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Belgian SMEs are used, because there are important differences in disclosure and audit requirements among them. Consistent with the traditional view that asymmetric or incomplete information restricts access to external funds, our results indicate that both the amount and quality of financial statement information are positively related to SME leverage. In addition, we find that leverage is positively related to asset structure, growth (prospects) and median industry leverage, and negatively related to firm age and profitability.     

How Do SMEs with Single and Multiple Owners Finance Their Operations Differently? Empirical Evidence from China

We study the impact of firm‐level characteristics on the capital structures of private small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as the differences between the capital structures adopted by SMEs with single and multiple owners in China. Our findings highlight the limited use of asset‐based financing by Chinese SMEs. We also find that the propensity of SMEs with single‐owners to use external debt was significantly less than those with multiple owners. Furthermore, our findings suggest that single‐owned firms are subject to a more constrained pecking order than those with multiple owners. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Are the determinants of capital structure country or firm specific?

In this paper we investigate the capital structure determinants of Greek, French, Italian, and Portuguese small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). We compare the capital structures of SMEs across countries and differences in country characteristics, asset structure, size, profitability, risk, and growth and how these may impact capital structure choices. The results show that SMEs in these countries determine their capital structure in similar ways. We attribute these similarities to the country institutional and financial characteristics and the commonality of their civil law systems. However, structural differences arise due to firm specific effects. We find that size is positively related to leverage while the relationship between leverage and asset structure, profitability and risk is negative. Growth is not a statistically significant determinant of leverage for any of the four countries. Our main conclusion is that firm-specific rather than country facts explain differences in capital structure choices of SMEs.     

Entrepreneurial orientation, management commitment, and human capital: The internationalization of SMEs in India

Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) make sizeable contributions to the economic success of nations. Research concerning the internationalization of SMEs is available in the context of developed economies but less is can be found dealing specifically with the entrepreneurial behavior and international expansion of SMEs in emerging markets such as India. This research extends the literature addressing the relationships surrounding the internationalization of SMEs in India as related to entrepreneurial behavior, firm resources, and commitment to internationalization. Entrepreneurial orientation, a commitment to internationalization, and the ability to leverage human capital influence the international success of Indian SMEs, based on the analysis of data collected from 150 Indian SMEs.     

The Effect of Governance Mechanisms on Small and Medium‐Sized Enterprise Cash Holdings: Evidence from the United Kingdom

This paper investigates the impact of governance mechanisms on small and medium‐sized enterprise (SME) cash holdings from 2000 to 2009, employing static and dynamic panel data analyses. We find no evidence that firm governance index and insider ownership affect cash holdings. This might indicate that governance mechanisms in SMEs are relatively weak. We also report that chief executive officer compensation has a positive effect on cash holdings. Firm‐specific factors such as firm size, leverage, and liquidity negatively affect cash holdings, whereas the research and development ratio and operating risk are positively associated with them. Finally, SMEs have target cash holdings and adjust to these.     

Firm-Level Determinants of the Financing Decisions of Small and Medium Enterprises: Evidence from Argentina

This article studies the determinants of the financing decisions of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which we characterize through three cases: trade-off behavior, pecking order, and extreme aversion to debt. We test our hypotheses using a dataset of firms from Bahía Blanca (Argentina) for two years: 2006 and 2010. We find that firm characteristics related to information asymmetries, such as firm age, size, and legal form; and personal factors, such as owner’s age and education; and perception of emotional bankruptcy costs, are relevant variables in SME financing behavior. The recognition of extreme aversion to debt motivates reconsideration of the underleverage problem of SMEs.     

Ownership Differences,Auditor Reputation,and Debt Financing: Evidence from China

This research examines whether “the paradox of auditor reputation” exists in China’s private debt market. Two types of hypotheses are developed to explain the “paradox” in terms of ownership differences. Our findings suggest: (1) by retaining big name auditors, non-state-owned enterprises (non-SOEs) significantly reduce the cost of debt and lower financial constraints; (2) For the non-SOEs, the effect of auditor reputation on the cost of debt and financial constraints declines over time due to the accumulation of these firms’ own reputation; (3) SOEs are more sensitive to the interest rate of bank loans than their counterparts, implying their stronger bargaining power when negotiating with potential creditors than non-SOEs due to their government connections. However, SOEs’ government connections weaken the informational role of auditors and firm reputation on signaling debt market; and (4) Corporate governance is taken into consideration by creditors as an important indicator of solvency. Further investigation demonstrates that after controlling for firm size, operating cash flow, profitability and leverage ratio, the possibility of hiring big name auditors by the younger and median-aged group of non-SOEs is considerably higher than “elder” non-SOEs. Moreover, poor-performing SOEs have greater incentives to make use of their government connections in their bargaining for lower debt cost, as compared with their well-performing peers.     

Post-Entry Struggle for Life and Pre-Exit Shadow of Death from a Financial Perspective

The success or failure of small, young, and private firms depends highly on the evolution of their financial position. This paper considers the post-entry/pre-exit adjustment process of firms, with focus on financial (debt-to-asset ratio) and labor productivity dynamics. Empirically examining financial relationships has been difficult, due to a lack of data on small, young, and private firms. We find that the post-entry struggle for life results in highly productive entrants reducing their leverage. Pre-exit dynamics see firm growth and relative firm size fall, with rising leverage. Increasing leverage hints at a shadow of death. Selection and survivor effects contribute to post-entry dynamics, while turnover and transition effects contribute to pre-exit dynamics.
