【 摘 要 】

The purpose of this research is to study the effects of board of director structure on financing constraints for the companies listed on Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE). For this purpose, indigenised Kaplan and Zingales (KZ) index  has been used as a proxy for financing constraints. The population consists of 56 companies of TSE spanning 2007-2013 and the multivariate logistic regression is used. The results suggest that there is no significant relationship between board structure (including independence, size, degree, changes in the membership and CEO duality) and financing constraints. In addition, the research results concerning control variables show that there is a significant negative relationship between firm size and financing constraints, but thereis a significant positive relationship between firms’ age and their financing constraints.
