O efeito de gestores empreendedores nas decisões relacionadas a estrutura de capital de empresas brasileiras

Resumo

The aim of this paper is to analyze the relationship of the determinant factors of the capital structure of publicly held companies that operate in Brazil. The research hypothesis is that behavioral factors influence the manager and thereby affect a company’s level of debt financing. The sample group consists of 76 companies, covering the period from 1998 to 2010. The presence of an entrepreneur manager (a manager that has founded a company in the past) was used to check the influence of entrepreneur managers in the company’s capital structure. The econometric results confirm the hypothesis that the presence of an entrepreneur manager is a determinant factor of a company’s capital structure. The results suggest that behavioral biases are meaningful factors regarding corporate decisions, reducing the asymmetric information between agents and principal. The following factors are also relevant to a company’s capital structure: profitability, growth and tangibility of assets.
