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.}, journal = {International Journal of Economics and Management Engineering}, volume = {6}, number = {9}, year = {2012}, pages = {2453 - 2457}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10824}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/69}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 69, 2012}, }
