In the long process of economic growth, Chinese enterprises play the leading role. The Financial crisis caused by US sub-prime mortgage led to the tremendous change of enterprise's operating results and the share price fell down sharply. Under the role of trade-off theory and pecking order theory of capital raising, financial crisis influenced corporate financing behavior in China.
I studied the impact of debt ratio on the firm value, and analysed corporate financial ratios influenced to firm debt ratio. The research results as followings: First, based on the whole period of this research, I find that the higher the debt ratio is, firm value is more higher. That is, the debt ratio of Chinese firm is positively related to the value of firm. So I could say that the hypothesis 1 I have made is proved. Second, in the period before and after the financial crisis, the profitability and firm size show a significant impact on debt financing. Corporate profitability was negatively correlated with the debt ratio and have the significant impact, so I could say that was consistent with the pecking order theory. But firm size and debt ratio showed a positive correlation. That was in contrast to the theoretical predictions. Therefore I concluded that the pecking order theory was partly applied in China.
