Abstract AR
تبحث هذه الورقة محددات هيكل الديون لمئتين و ثلاث و أربعين شركة صناعية متداولة في سوق نيويورك و اميكس و ناسداك، للفترة الواقعة ما بين عامي 1989 و 2003.
و توصلت الدراسة إلى دليل يدعم نظرية تكلفة التعاقد و يتمثل في أن الشركات الصغيرة ذات مخاطر الأعمال المرتفعة و الشركات ذات الفرص الاستثمارية المتوافرة تفضل إصدار الديون قصيرة الأجل.
كما ترفض الوقة، في نتائجها، نظريتي منافع الضريبة و نظرية السيولة و الخطر.
Abstract EN
This paper empirically examines the determinant of corporate debt maturity structure for 243 industrial firms reported in NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ for the period 1989-2003.
The Housman's specification test is used to examine the fixed and random effects in the panel data.
We find strong evidence supporting the contracting cost-theory that smaller firms with higher business risk and firms with more growth options in their investment opportunity sets are more likely to issue short-term debt.
Also we strongly reject the tax benefit and liquidity & risk hypotheses, none of the parameters under the random regression are significant.
