The study concerns the capital-structure characteristics of Hungarian manufacturing firms in the 1992-2001 period. The first part presents briefly the trade-off, agency and pecking-order theories of capital structure and the empirical findings to do with the factors affecting capital-structure decisions. The second part explores indicators that also explain capital-structure decisions in the period of transition to a market economy. The third part uses empirical analysis to seek the most general attributes of decisions relating to capital structure taken by Hungarian manufacturing firms. The author concludes that a decisive proportion of the capital structure of such firms consisted of short-term sources, with an extremely low weight for long-term capital sources. The main conclusion of the study is that the capital structure-related decisions of the firms cannot be explained by a single theoretical approach. The trade-off, agency and pecking-order models complement each other in explaining the various attributes of capital-structure decisions in manufacturing firms, so that no model alone can be applied comprehensively.

Perceived and actual financial literacy in Slovakia was examined via standard questions used in the international surveys. The levels of perceived competence were well-related to actual knowledge of basic financial concepts, such as inflation, compound interest, time value of money and investment costs and socio-demographic variables (education, gender). Psychological variables (risk tolerance levels) impacted perceived financial knowledge indirectly, via willingness to invest in risky classes of financial products.
