| The firm capital structure plays an important role in decisions of investment. The effects of profitability (ROA), firm size, market to book value of equity on capital structure have studied in previous research. Some previous researches studied the effect of corporate governance measures on capital structure. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of corporate governance measures on capital structure in Tehran Stock Exchange. In this study, we use a sample of 170 companies for an eight years period (1381-1388). For the hypotheses testing multivariate pool data regression is used. The Results indicate that profitability (ROA), firm size, market to book value of equity and corporate governance measures explain more than 95 % of the change in financial leverage. |
