  • Abstract
    In order to find out why some companies adopt an extreme capital structure of zero debt, we use the data of China´s listed companies to analyze the features of those zero debt companies. Our empirical results show that some factors influence the choice of zero debt policy. Our analysis explains what kind of company may adopt zero debt, and also contribute to the research of low leverage.
