Abstract: | This research paper examines the interaction between capital structure, cost of financing, risk, and other variables in their influence on the profitability of the agricultural sector in the United States from 1980 to 2023. Through advanced econometric methods, the study analyzes and manages detailed financial data, supported by authoritative sources such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Bloomberg, Compustat, and Damodaran. It is complemented by an exhaustive review of relevant literature, correlating the results with the economic cycles and structural changes experienced by the sector during the period under study. The results indicate, as main conclusions, that the capital structure and the cost of financing are determining factors in the profitability of the sector. A high debt-to-equity ratio is associated with a decrease in profitability, while an increase in interest expense negatively impacts returns. On the other hand, an increase in operating efficiency, measured through the asset turnover ratio, and an increase in the net farm income ratio, contribute positively to profitability. The study also concludes that effective management of the capital structure and financing costs, adjusted to the risks of the sector, is essential to improve agricultural profitability. This multidimensional approach provides a statistically reliable, accurate, and tailored model for strategic decisions in the U.S. agricultural sector. |
