| Summary: | This study investigates the effect of capital structure on board compensation and investment efficiency in Tehran stock exchange. To measure the capital structure, the ratio of total debt to total assets is used, and to measure the investment efficiency Biddle et al.’s model is applied. To test the hypothesis, data from 115 companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange in the period from 2009 to 2013 is collected and multivariate regression model based on fixed effects is applied. The results indicate that the capital structure has a positive and significant impact on the board compensation. Moreover, the results show that there is a significant relationship between the board compensation and investment efficiency. |
