Hennessy and Whited (2005) develop a dynamic trade-off model with endogenous choice of leverage, distributions, and real investment in the presence of a graduated corporate income tax, individual taxes on interest and corporate distributions, financial distress costs, and equity flotation costs. The study explains several empirical findings inconsistent with the static trade-off theory and show that there is no target leverage ratio, firms can be savers or heavily levered, leverage is path dependent, leverage is decreasing in lagged liquidity, and leverage varies negatively with an external finance weighted average. Using estimates of structural parameters, they find also that simulated model moments match data moments. Chiang et al., (2002) results show that profitability and capital structure are interrelated , the study sample includes 35 companies listed in Hong Kong. Raheman et al., (2007) find a significant capital structure effect on the profitability for non-financial firms listed on Islamabad Stock Exchange.
