The nexus between debt structure, firm performance, and the financial crisis: non-linear panel data evidence from Japan by Zeitun, Rami

“…This study seeks to analyze the non-linear relationship between a firm's debt structure and performance based on evidence from Japan through the use of a panel data fixed effects model for a sample of 1,670 listed firms. This is the first study that looks at the effect of the short-term debt threshold on corporate performance, as well as the influence of the 2008 global financial crisis (GFC) on the nonlinear effect of debt structure on corporate performance. …”
