Factors affecting the capital structure formation

The identification of the most significant factors affecting the capital structure is an urgent issue in the formation of the optimal ratio of own and borrowed capital. The purpose of the work is to determine the internal and external factors affecting the capital structure, based on the study of the most well-known concepts of the capital structure. In the course of the study, an econometric model for estimating the influence of internal and external factors on the capital structure using the correlation-regression method is constructed. As a result of the research, it was obtained that the influence of a group of factors depends equally on the industry, the specific activities, policies and strategies of the company.
