    Does export intensity of heterogeneous firms affect leverage? Evidence from a small open economy
    (Univ Oviedo, 2023) Gebizlioğlu, Ömer Lütfi; Gebizlioglu, Omer Lutfi
    Exports at firm level improve the financial performance and contribute to economic growth. Exporting activities can require additional financing and pose a challenge to manufacturing firms, affecting their managerial financing decisions. This study explores the impact of export intensity on leverage using a dataset of manufacturing firms. The results of two-step system GMM reveal that export intensity has a negative influence on leverage. We find that a firm size positively impacts leverage, while cash holding has a negative connection with leverage. Fi-nally, we note that board size exhibits a positive relationship with leverage. These findings suggest important policy implications for export promotion, specifically for a small open econ-omy. The results are robust to different sensitivity checks.
