Pecking-Order View
A theory stating that, all other things being equal, companies seeking to finance a new project or product have a hierarchy of preferred financing options that progresses from the most preferred to the least preferred. The hierarchy is said to follow this order: internal funding (or simply financing a project or product out-of-pocket), debt issuance, debt-equity hybrid issuance, and equity issuance. The pecking-order view states that the hierarchy is structured this way because of the transaction costs involved in each form of financing. That is, internal funding has a lower transaction cost that debt issuance, and so forth.
