In this regard, the degree of trade openness as an index the globalization of trade and other control variables such as firm size, the ratio of fixed assets to total assets, instantaneous ratio and the ratio of debts to total of equity has been used for the accepted companies in Tehran Stock Exchange during 2005-2010. The results of using of panel data show that the globalization of trade has a negative effect on the cost of capital. Also, the instantaneous ratio of fixed assets to total assets, firm size and the ratio of total of debt to equity have a significant effect on the cost of capital.
