Abstract
- We analyze the relationship between board of directors' composition and capital structure in a multi-country sample.
- Firms with more independent directors have a capital structure composed with more external equity.
- Firms with gender diversified boards and where the chairman is non-executive have a capital structure composed with more long term sources of financing.
