Abstract
We test the pecking order theory of corporate leverage on a broad cross-section of publicly
traded American firms for 1971 to 1998. Contrary to the pecking order theory, net equity issues
track the financing deficit more closely than do net debt issues. While large firms exhibit some
aspects of pecking order behavior, the evidence is not robust to the inclusion of conventional
leverage factors, nor to the analysis of evidence from the 1990s. Financing deficit is less
important in explaining net debt issues over time for firms of all sizes.
JEL classification: G32
Keywords: Pecking order theory, Capital structure. Financing deficit
