Abstract

We consider empirically the incremental financing decisions for a sample of 153 AEX-quoted companies during the years 1984 through 1997. First, we estimate a binomial logit model for the choice between internal and external finance. Second, we estimate a multinomial logit model for the choice between three types of external finance: private loans, bonds and shares. The results provide evidence for the pecking order theory. The issuance behaviour appears not to be consistent with long-term capital structure targets.
