Errata: The Theory of Capital Structure
Abstract
In the article Theory of Capital Structure, by Milton Harris and Artur Raviv (The Journal of Finance, March 1991, vol. 46, no. 1, pp. 297-355) there is an error in Tables IV, V, and VII concerning the description of results reported in Investment-Financing Nexus: Some Empirical Evidence, by Michael Long and Ileen Malitz (Midland Corporate Finance Journal, 1985). While the text of Theory of Capital Structure (p. 334) correctly states that Long and Malitz find a negative relationship between leverage and profitability, in Tables IV, V, and VII, a positive, but insignificant, relationship is incorrectly reported. The authors apologize for this error and thank Professor Michael Long of Rutgers University for bringing it to their attention.
