Abstract

With a sample of listed companies from 2000 to 2010 and using Generalized method of moment (GMM), the paper researches the impacts of firms characteristics and macroeconomic factors on capital structure dynamic adjustment towards target leverage. Using integrated dynamic partial adjustment capital structure model, we find evidence that, relative to in bad macroeconomic states, firms adjust their leverage towards target faster in good states, and that large size firms adjust their leverage towards target faster than small size firms. So dose high growth firms. Our result also prove that, since small size firms are unable to adjust their leverage in time, especially in period of economic recession, they are more likely to face financial difficulties and capital chain ruptures.
