Abstract

Bu çalışmada, 2013:12-2020:06 dönemi için inşaat sektöründe faaliyet gösteren firmaların finansal esneklikleri ile firma değeri ve finansal performansları arasındaki ilişkiyi panel kantil regresyon yöntemi ile ortaya çıkarmak amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada, 0,25, 0,50 ve 0,75 kantil dilimleri için firma değerini ve finansal performansı temsil eden iki farklı panel kantil regresyon modeli oluşturulmuştur. Hataların mutlak sapmasının en küçük olduğu Q2=0,5 dilimi için model değerlendirmeleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, finansal esneklik ile firma değeri ve finansal performans arasında anlamlı ve pozitif ilişki tespit edilirken, inşaat sektöründeki firmalar için finansal esnekliğin geçerli olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

The Relationship between Financial Flexibility, Firm Value and Financial Performance: Panel Quantile Regression Approach on the Construction Sector

Abstract

The study aimed at determining the relationship between financial flexibility, firm value, and financial performance of firms operating in the construction sector for the period 2013:12-2020:06 by employing the panel quantile regression method. Two different panel quantile regression models representing firm value and financial performance for 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 quantile segments were created in the study. Model evaluations were performed for the Q2=0.5 segment, where the absolute deviation of errors is the smallest. The results suggest that firm value and financial performance both display a significant and positive relationship with financial flexibility. It was concluded that financial flexibility is valid for companies in the construction industry.
