Abstract

A broad data set which covers 1989-2012 period was used to investigate the effects of financial crisis on capital structures of firms. It was found that the results which were gained from the system GMM estimator and collapsed instrumental variables are more consistent. Besides the effects of financial crises, the effects of profitability, firm size, growth opportunities, asset structure (tangibility) and industry median on leverage ratios have been exa¬mined. It has been found that while the effects of 1994 and 2001 crises were permanent, the effects of 2008 crisis were temporary.
