摘要
We investigate whether technological differences of UK manufacturing industries influence the response of firms' capital-labour (K/L) ratio to changes in financial indicators under financial frictions. The results reveal that technological factors along with internal funds significantly affect the K/L ratio for financially constrained firms. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
