On the basis of Pecking Order Theory, when firms need resourcesthey usually rely on debts since capital is considered expensive due toinformation asymmetry. Moral hazard is a kind of informationasymmetry; therefore, it is expected that it has relationship withcapital structure. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impactof moral hazard on capital structure. In order to conduct the research132 firms were selected from listed firms in Tehran Stock Exchangebetween years 2006_2012.research hypothesis was tested usingstructural equation model.

The company's ability to identify potential funding sources both internal and external, are the main factors of growth and development. The main objective of companies is to maximize shareholder wealth and the company's capital structure is one of the factors contributing to this, that involve financial resources commensurate with the risk and return. On the other hand, several studies have shown that due to the problems of the traditional theory of capital structure, one of the most important factors, affecting the issues of financing in companies, is financial flexibility. This study examines the impact of financial flexibility on capital structure decisions. For this purpose, the companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange, 108companies were selected and financial data for the years 1382 to 1392 were studied. The results indicate that current period financial flexibility has a significant and positive relationship with capital structure. The results also suggest that for companies that have negative marginal value of cash, financial flexibility in capital structure decisions, is a priority.

Choosing between debt financing and capital financing influenced by internal and external factors impacting companies' capital structure. The main goal of determining capital structure is to recognize the combination of financial resources to maximize stockholders' wealth. Because of the qualitative aspects of capital formation in high-tech companies, there has been huge investments in these companies which doesn’t seem to be a rational behavior in the investment community; Therefore it seems necessary to compare high-tech and traditional company’s capital structure. In this paper, in order to investigate the capital structure of high-tech and traditional companies and also comparing linear and non-linear models, companies are divided into two groups, high-tech and traditional companies. We collected year-company data of 378 companies during 2004- 2009 for the analysis using multiple regression and artificial neural network. The findings of this study indicate that liability ratio and financial leverage decisions in two above mentioned companies are different. The capital structure criterion in both industries has significantly different and non-linear models of capital structure in comparison with linear ones are more powerful in prediction

This article explores the changes and effects of capital structure on the production of products. For this purpose we test hypotheses with simple and logistic multi-regression analysis. This research use data related to 341 corporations that were listed in Tehran Stock Exchange from 1378 to 1387. The findings of the research are follows:
A significant statistic relation was seen between the components of capital structure (The only exceptions were registered capital) and companies' capacity in getting access to the predicted products.
Between change in short-term liabilities, allowance for labors' work and retained earnings in capital structure and actualization of predicted products are observes a statistically significant relation. In addition, components of capital structure and changes in them can predict ability of manufacturing amount that predicted in first of fiscal year. Lastly the results show that with over use components of capital structure and changes in them one can predict through 95.9 percent increase or decrease in products manufacturing.
