This study investigates whether the predictions of capital structure theories can apply to the leverage ratio and/or leverage change of Korean listed firms. With the sample of 3,279 firm-year observations in the period of 2000 to 2010, I find the following empirical results. First, the important determinants of capital structure are profitability, asset tangibility, market-to-book ratio, and firm size. The negative effect of profitability supports the pecking order theory while the positive effect of asset tangibility supports the tradeoff theory. Second, leverage change is positively associated with financing deficit and target adjustment. This evidence indicates that firms issue debt first when they need external financing and that firms adjust toward their target leverage ratio. Third, leverage changes are substantially influenced by historical variables such as stock returns and past market-to-book ratios measuring mispricing(under or over market evaluation). The result strongly supports the notion of the market timing theory when external financing is needed. Fourth, the signs and statistical significance of the determinants of leverage ratios and leverage changes depend upon whether leverage is measured by book value or market value. Finally, there is significant difference in the determinants of capital structure between large firms and small firms and between financing deficit firms and surplus firms.
