Besides, the inclusion of macroeconomic factors is even harder to locate. This paper analyzes the financing behaviour of non-financial firms in Indonesia. The objective is to measure the adjustment speed of the firms toward the optimal capital structure. Partial Adjustment Model (<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">PAM<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">) was used to analyzed the data. It is expected that non-financial firms in Indonesia possess a target leverage and make partial adjustments toward the target over time. The empirical findings from 250-panel data observation revealed that tangibility and firm\u2019s size had a positive and significant relationship with target leverage. In addition, macroeconomic variables (<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">GDP <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">growth and inflation rate) were found to be negatively correlated with the firm\u2019s speed of adjustment. Finally, the result shows that non-financial firms in Indonesia readjusted toward their target leverage at a speed rate of approximately 57.44% a year. These evidences conclude that the financing behaviour of non-financial firms in Indonesia tended to follow the dynamic trade-off theory.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","tags":[625,628,627,626],"jel-code":[],"article-type":[1329],"class_list":["entry","author-jem","post-4225","article","type-article","status-publish","tag-dynamic-capital-structure","tag-dynamic-trade-off-theory","tag-speed-of-adjustment","tag-target-leverage","article-type-normal-article"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/4225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/4225\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4231,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/4225\/revisions\/4231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4225"},{"taxonomy":"jel-code","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jel-code?post=4225"},{"taxonomy":"article-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article-type?post=4225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
