Abstract

This study investigates the determinants of capital structure for hospitality firms listed in India. The study validates the contradiction in the determinants of capital structure by using the data for firms listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange. Using fixed-effects regression models, the findings indicate that firm size and return on assets are significantly associated with total debt ratio (TDR), long-term debt ratio (LTDR) and short-term debt ratio. The variables such as growth rate, tangibility and volatility are found to be significantly associated with TDR and LTDR. Non-debt tax shield is found to be significantly associated with only TDR. Each of the stated determinants has a unique impact on capital structure decisions. The study partially confirms the applicability of the pecking order theory for hospitality sector firms. With the findings on hospitality firms, we hope to provide useful insights to lending institutions and corporate executives.
