Abstract

Japan is widely regarded as one of the world’s most developed nations. The country’s electronics industry, in particular, is consistently ranked among the global leaders in innovatiion. Industries such as automotive, construction, electronics, metal, and telecommunications, companies have traditionally leaned more heavily on debt financing for both their day-to-day operations and investment endeavors, rather than relying on equity financing. In Japan, debt financing is favored as cost-effective source of capital compared to equity financing. The study selected 257 automotive, construction, electronic, metal, and telecommunications companies between 2000 and 2021. To find the effect of financial leverage on financial performance, the study used the random effect and the GMM to estimate the effect of the firms’ leverage on financial performance. The study found that interest coverage has a positive and statistically significant effect on ROA, ROE, and Tobin’s Q. The study discovered that cash coverage has a positive and statistically significant effect on ROE. The study found that debt service obligations have a negative and statistically significant effect on financial performance.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
