The method of analysis is the panel estimation technique where the study seeks to analysis both the short-run dynamics and long-run nexus between capital structure and the effectiveness of business enterprises. The results obtained are highly instructive as valuable conclusions were drawn; and policy suggestions, which are deemed to benefit the investors and shareholders, lenders and finally, academicians who will see new empirical evidence in the accounting literature emanating from an emerging economy like Nigeria were proffered. |
