| dc.description.abstract | Capital structure theorists have argued for different determinants of leverage ratios
throughout the age of modern corporate finance literature, with thorough empirical
evidence of key determinants having surfaced in recent years. In this paper I add risk
aversion into the equation, and find a significant relationship between CEO risk aversion
proxied by non-firm wealth and leverage ratios. I also find significant relationships
between percentage of wealth at stake in the company the CEO manages and leverage
ratios, although this latter finding should be treated with caution due to the contingency
of causality. | nb_NO |
