摘要

This article examines if family firm characteristics affect capital structure. Past research suggest that family companies are more risk-averse and should be less dependent on debt than nonfamily firms. However, the role of family businesses in post-communist countries, including the Czech Republic, has been neglected so far and there has not been any significant research pertaining to this issue. We verify the hypothesis on a sample of 1500 Czech medium and large-sized companies using regression analysis. The period under consideration was 2009-2012. In all years, we find that the level of debt of family firms is significantly lower which is consistent with prior findings. Moreover, the liquidity levels seem to be greater which suggests a more prudent financing. The risk of transfer of control over the company to other people than family members in case of default, as well as a possible damage to family reputation, may be possible reasons for a higher risk aversion of Czech family firms.
