Abstract
This study aims to investigate the dynamic model on leverage decisions of non-financial listed firms in Indonesia, through identification of target leverage and speed of adjustment as characteristics of dynamic trade-off theory. Partial adjustment model is used and estimated through generalized method of moments. Multicollinearity test is conducted as diagnostic test for the estimation model. Non-financial firms in Indonesia do pursue target leverage constructed by firm-specific factors such as profitability, liquidity, and tangibility. Meanwhile, non-debt tax shield, business risk and size do not significantly affect leverage decision. The adjustment toward the target defines the symmetric speed adjustment of 78.05% across the firms. The result of this study contributes to analyze leverage decision of non-financial firm in Indonesia by using dynamic model with more realistic assumption and more advanced method in order to offer a deeper insight regarding firms leverage behavior.
