Does Pecking Order Theory Hold Among Kenyan Firms?
This study examined the pecking order theory of capital structure through annual data of 37 firms listed at the Nairobi Securities Exchange for the period 2011-2016. Estimation results established a positive relationship between changes in debt and investments and a negative relationship between changes in debt and cash flows. Overall, the findings suggest that financial deficits determine net debt issues and hence a strong case for pecking order theory in Kenya in explaining capital structure decisions.
