- Abstract
The development of an area of knowledge through research requires establishing how its evolution has been, identifying where research efforts have been directed and comparing the different approaches that have been given to a certain problem. Within the field of Corporate Finance, capital structure has been a subject developed with multiple approaches, without yet having a generally accepted theory about it. Taking into account these assertions, it is considered important to know what the latest trends in capital structure research are. This article presents the results of the bibliometric analysis of the latest trends in research on capital structure, the decade between 2009 and 2018, allowing a diagnosis of its progress to be made and serving as a reference source for future research. It also includes a comparison of this period with the previous 9 years, between 2000 and 2008, highlighting the differences in the quantitative analysis of the populations of each of these periods. For the research development, the result of which is the present article, bibliometrics was used as a research methodology. The investigative process started from the historical review of the theories on capital structure, included in the theoretical framework, continued with the bibliometric process and ended with the analysis and comparison of results. As a result of this process, it was found that the latest trends in capital structure research are largely made up of the analysis and verification of the determinants of the capital structure and the confirmation or refutation of previous theories in different types of capital. companies or economic sectors.
