| Abstract | This paper examines capital structure determinants of non-financial firms in Nigeria using a panel of 33 large firms. Statistical tests are performed for the period 1990-2004. The results reveal that profitability, tangibility and company size are positively related to total debt and long-term debt, and growth opportunities are negatively associated with total debt. The empirical results indicate that the financing decisions of large firms in Nigeria can be explained by the determinants suggested by trade-off theory. |
