Abstract/Summary

The Static Tradeoff and Pecking Order theories are tested on a sample data of 35 services firms under the Philippine Stock Exchange 2006-2014. Empirical results prove that both models can explain some part of the capital structure. The Static Tradeoff theory shows that firm leverage is affected by several determinants, and the Pecking Order theory displays similar movements between the change of the debt ratio and financial deficit. However, both models have shortcomings.
