Abstract

Considering the impact of the capital structure on the effectiveness of businesses is extremely important. Therefore, this study is conducted in order to find the influences of capital structure, firm size and revenue growth on the performance of the garment businesses listed on Vietnam stock market in the period of 2013-2018 with the representation of return on equity (ROE). The research with the use of panel data has shown that the ratio of short-term debt on total assets, the firm size and the revenue growth all have positive impacts on business performance. Meanwhile, the ratio of long-term debt on total assets has a negative impact on the performance of garment businesses at the statistically significant level of 5%.

Keywords: Capital structure, panel data, fixed effect, random effect, ROE
