	%X This paper investigates several factors affecting the
cost of capital for listed Romanian companies. Although there is a
large amount of literature investigating the drivers of the cost of
capital internationally, there is currently little evidence from
emergent markets. Based on a sample of 19 Romanian listed
companies followed by financial analysts for the years 2008-2010,
according to Thomson Reuters- I/B/E/S data base, the paper confirms
the international trends, showing that size, corporate governance
policies, and growth are negatively correlated with the cost of capital.
