Economics Letters, 2011, vol. 112, issue 1, 23-25

Abstract: 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.
