Title What Explains the Financing Behavior of Commercial Banks Listed on the Kuwait Stock Exchange: The Pecking Order Theory or Trading Off Theory
 
Creator Shaalan, Dr. Tharwah
 
Description This paper seeks to investigate which theory explains the capital structure of the commercial banks listed in the Kuwait stock markets: the pecking order theory or the tradeoff theory. The study used time series and cross-section panel data to test the hypothesis. The data spanned over a period of nine years from 2010–2018, using all commercial banks listed in the Kuwait stock market. The results showed that the trade-off theory is the best theory to conduct the capital structure of the Kuwaiti commercial banks while the pecking order theory presents a weak from. The paper proved that there was no heteroscedasticity in cross-sectional data nor auto correlation over the time series panel model.
