TESTING THE VALIDITY OF THE THEORY OF FINANCIAL HIERARCHY AND THE TRADE OFF THEORY IN THE TURKISH MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY

Abstract

Since capital structure composition, which is called as debt-equity composition, is a vital issue for firms, it is an important area in which so many studies have been done in financial literature. In this study, it is aimed to determine whether the capital structure decisions of the firms in Turkish manufacture industry, in other words their loan contracted behaviours, are compatible with Financial Hierarchy Theory or the Trade off Theory, which are the two main prevailing view in literature. In the present study, the annual data of 50 firms for - quoted market- the period of 1990-2014 were analyzed using the packaged software of E-views 8 by means of the dynamic panel data analysis method. As a result of the analysis, while it was found out that, out of the independent variables, firm size, asset structure, profitability and current ratio had a negative effect on borrowing, growth rate and growth opportunuties had a positive effect. It was also seen that tax shield out of debt and nonsystematic risk did not have a significant effect on borrowing. Accordingly, it can be said that loan contracted behaviours of the firms in the Turkish manufacturing industry are mainly compatible with Financial Hierarchy Theory.
