摘要
This paper examines the relationship between profitability and financial capital for 1,276 small firms in Taiwan over the period 1992-1997. The results indicate a statistically positive relationship between profitability and capital growth. When financial capital is further divided into debt and equity, the results indicate a significantly positive relationship between profitability and equity financing, but a significantly negative relationship between profitability and debt financing. Moreover, the profitability of small firms is positively related to both the external economic conditions and the firms' previous profitability.
