Determinants of leverage in mining companies, empirical evidence for Latin American countries

Abstract: This paper applies static and dynamic panel data methods to explore the determinants and the trend of leverage across 14 mining firms in Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Brazil and Peru from the first quarter in 2004 to the third quarter in 2014, and also contrasts the results with relevant theories. We find that tangibility increases leverage, while growth and size do not have significant effect. Profitability reduces leverage, which is consistent with the first alternative of the Hierarchical Order theory. The Colom… Show more

“…However, this is not in line with the pecking order theory, that firms with strong growth opportunities have access to external financing to meet their capital investment requirements. In addition, our results are consistent with many previous studies, including Lemmon et al (2008), Gormley and Matsa (2013), Matemilola et al (2018), Harris and Roark (2019), and Li and Islam (2019), but do not support the findings of Kester (1986), Vo (2017), Kh emiri and Noubbigh (2018), and Paredes G omez et al (2016. This can be explained by the fact that with the stock market gradually evolving over recent decades, most corporate finance in Malaysia is not bank credit.…”

“…Various studies found that there were many factors that could affect the company's capital structure as proxied by the debt to equity ratio (DER). The DER as a proxy for capital structure had been used in the researches by Gómez, Castro, and Ortega (2016), Handoo and Sharma (2014), Handriani and Robiyanto (2018a), Karadeniz, Kandir, Balcilar, and Onal (2009), Michalski, Blendinger, Rozsa, Cierniak-Emerych, Svidronova, Buleca, and Bulsara (2018), Nijenhuis (2013), Onofrei, Tudose, Durdureanu, and Anton (2015), Suarez (2016). In general, these studies used some independent variables, i.e., profitability, firm size, and asset structure as the variables that could affect the DER.…”

“…Esta asume que las empresas prefieren utilizar recursos propios antes que endeudarse, por lo tanto, mientras más rentable sea la empresa, hará menor uso de deuda como recurso financiero. Muchos estudios han demostrado mediante experimentos empíricos la validez de la TJF (Serrasqueiro, Matias, & Salsa, 2016;Saeedi & Mahmoodi, 2009;Acaravci, 2016;Serrasqueiro & Caetano, 2015;Booth, Aivazian, Demirguc-Kunt, & Maksimovic, 2001;Tenjo, López, & Zamudio, 2006;Paredes, Ángeles, & Flores, 2016). Este se medirá mediante la siguiente fórmula: Tamaño: La Teoría del Equilibrio Estático predice una relación positiva entre el tamaño y el endeudamiento.…”

“…Estas están más dispuestas a entregar más y mejor información a los posibles inversionistas, en comparación con empresas pequeñas. Otro hecho importante es que al ser de gran tamaño poseen mayores ganancias retenidas con lo cual financiarse (Saeedi & Mahmoodi, 2009;Acaravci, 2016;Sultan & Adam, 2015;Paredes, Ángeles, & Flores, 2016). Esta se medirá mediante la siguiente fórmula: Escudos fiscales no generados por deuda (EFND 4 ): la TEE predice una relación negativa entre el endeudamiento y los EFND.…”
