description The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of firm level and three industry level determinants; dynamism, munificence and industry concentration on the capital structure decisions. This study also analyses which capital structure theories better explain the financing decisions of firms in Indonesia. This study employs three regression techniques, the Pooled Ordinary Least Square (OLS), the Fixed Effects and the Random Effects to analyse the relationship between the determinants and the capital structure decisions based on panel data during the period of 2000-2014. Three different definitions of leverage (TD/TA, LTD/TA, STD/TA) have been used to test the robustness of the findings.
