dc.description.abstract |
This study investigates whether product diversified firms tend to have more long term
debt compared to non-diversified firms. To conduct this study a sample of 45676
U.S. based firms was taken from a period of 1969 to 2009. Only firms with operations
within the United States were considered for this study. Geographic diversified firms
were excluded for simplicity. The long-term debt level of non-diversified firms was
compared with product diversified firms for various product lines, and the results showed
that product diversified firms do have more long term debt compared to non-diversified
firm’s debt. Additionally debt levels increase with the increase in the number of products. |
