Assessing the Influence of the 2008 Sub-prime Mortgage Crisis on Indian Firms' Capital Structure Choices

Abstract

The study assessed the influence of the 2008 Subprime Mortgage Crisis on the capital structure choices of Indian firms. Employing a quantitative research methodology, the analysis involves 317 Indian firms listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) from 2008 to 2012. Utilizing fixed-effect panel and random regression models, the research aims to elucidate the factors shaping Indian firms' capital structure decisions post the 2008 financial crisis. By assessing this impact, the study seeks to offer a comprehensive understanding of how the crisis shaped financing choices and its implications for Indian firms' future financial strategies.
