| Abstract: | It is examined in this paper how debt ratios are affected by cash flows, investment expenditures, and stock price (here as: st-prs.) histories. Consistent with earlier work, it is found that these variables have a substantial influence on changes in capital structure (as: cap-str). Especially, st-prs. changes and financial deficits have strong influences on changes of cap-str. However, in contrast to previous conclusions, it is found that over long horizons their effects are partially reversed. |
