Estrutura de capital e estratégia em mercados competitivos: uma análise empírica da relação
Description
An extensive body of research has identified several factors on the determinants of capital structure. Several firm characteristics such as size, growth opportunities, profitability, tax shields, or the proportion of fixed assets, have been shown to affect capital structure. Nevertheless, there is little empirical evidence on the effect of market conditions on the capital structure. (HARRIS; RAVIV, 1991) Brander and Lewis (1986, 1988) and Maksimovic (1988) pioneered the analysis of the use of financial structure as a strategic variable in product market competition. The purpose of this research was to precisely determine the interaction between the capital structure and the strategy in factor-product market. An analysis of the strategy and capital structure determinants using a panel data model was conducted. Moreover, a model of simultaneous equation was estimated with a sample of 207 Brazilian firms. The Least Square (LS), Two-stage Least Squares (2SLS) and Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) have been usedNenhuma
