Abstract

This paper studies the determinants of the capital structure of small and medium sized companies. In a second step, this analysis is extended to large companies. The research is based on two financial theories (i) pecking order theory (TPO) and (ii) management strategy theory (TEP), with different principles to explain the capital structure of a company. Focussed on these two theories, a set of hypotheses have been defined and tested using panel data methodology. The results of estimated models , using a sample of 2169 companies from the Fundación Empresa Pública (ESEE) data base, strongly confirm the validity of TPO for small companies but only partially for larger companies. As far as strategy is concerned, results cannot yet be considered conclusive: El objetivo fundamental de esta investigación consiste en explorar los factores que determinan la estructura de capital de las pymes. En un segundo escenario, el análisis se extiende al colectivo de empresas grandes. El trabajo analiza las teorías financieras de (i) selección jerárquica o pecking order theory (TPO) y (ii) estrategia empresarial (TEP), que postulan diferentes principios para explicar la estructura de capital. En torno a estos dos enfoques, se define un conjunto de hipótesis que son contrastadas a través de una metodología de datos de panel. La estimación de los modelos diseñados a tal efecto, a partir de una muestra de 2169 empresas, obtenida de la base de datos ESEE (Fundación Empresa Pública), arroja una fuerte evidencia del cumplimiento de la teoría TPO en el ámbito de las pymes y sólo parcial en el de las grandes empresas. Por su parte, la teoría TEP presenta resultados de estimación que, por el momento, no pueden considerarse concluyentes.
