Determinants of Capital Structure for Listed Companies in the Colombian Industrial Sector
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between tangibility, corporate taxes,
age, and company size to the capital structure of Colombian firms. Thirty five (35) companies of the
industrial sector listed by the Colombian Stock Exchange were chosen as the sample for this study.
Financial data used in the analysis was collected from their public annual reports. A Pearson
correlation coefficient was used to analyze the linear dependence between leverage (firms capital
structure) and the independent variables (tangibility, corporate tax rate, age, and company size).
The results indicate that tangibility, corporate tax rate, and age of companies dont have a significant
relationship with the leverage of the company. But, there exists a significant positive correlation
between the size of the company and its capital structure which is consistent with the trade-off
theory of capital structure.
