Investigating the Effects of Debt Convergence of Companies on the Speed of Capital Structure Adjustment Considering the Time Horizon by Sayed Mojtaba Ahmadi, Mehdi Agha Beik Zadeh, Afsaneh Soroushyar

“…This was likely because adjusting the capital structure incurred costs and given the significant gap between actual and target leverage in the early adjustment years, the companies tended to adjust their leverage more slowly during this phase. Finally, the third hypothesis was supported as well - the capital structure speed of adjustment differed between the convergent and non-convergent companies both in the early and later stages of the adjustment process. …”
