本文利用中国上市公司2003~2010年的数据,采用差分广义矩估计以及连接函数为logit的广义线性模型拟最大似然估计两种方法对资本结构的调整速度与不同资产负债率水平之间的关系进行了探讨。本文的研究结果表明:较高负债率水平的公司有着相对较快的调整速度,并且其公司规模也较大;与此相反,低水平负债率的公司不仅调整速度较慢,而且公司规模较小。同时,本文的研究还发现高负债率的公司对于资本结构的调整主要是通过债务行为来达到的。
: This paper empirically analyses the relationship between debt levels and the capital structure adjust speed of Chinese listed companies during 2003 -2010, using the difference GMM and the logit QMLE in GLM. The result reveal that: A high level of asset-liability ratio has a relatively fast speed of adjustment, that means more lower trade cost, while relative to the common debt level, the corporate with higher asset-liability ratio have more large scale. Due to the low proportion of posses- sion of tangible assets in the company with high debt ratio, and the national credit rationing policy has a significant level on the company with high debt ratio, this suggest that the company with high level of indebtedness can adjust its capital structure through debt behavior.
