Abstract

O mbito deste trabalho passa por analisar as diferenas das decises de financiamento entre setores exportadores e no exportadores em Portugal e examinar se a intensidade das exportaes afeta o nvel de endividamento das empresas Portuguesas. Para dar resposta ao propsito deste trabalho, foi recolhida uma amostra de 32 912 empresas Portuguesas no cotadas durante o perodo 2011-2015, as quais foram categorizadas como pertencendo a setores exportadores versus no exportadores.Tendo subjacente a literatura sobre as decises de financiamento nas empresas, procedeu-se anlise: (i) de como os determinantes da estrutura de capital comummente apresentados, nomeadamente, os Impostos, a Tangibilidade, a Rentabilidade, a Dimenso, a Indstria, o Risco de Negcio, Outros Benefcios Fiscais para alm da Dvida (OBFD) e a Taxa de Inflao afetam o nvel de endividamento das empresas; e (ii) da influncia da intensidade das exportaes no nvel de endividamento das empresas.Os resultados demonstram que apesar de certos fatores - Tangibilidade, Rentabilidade, Dimenso, OBFD e Taxa de Inflao - influenciarem de forma semelhante o nvel de endividamento das empresas pertencentes tanto aos setores exportadores como aos no exportadores, existem fatores - Impostos, Indstria e Risco de Negcio - com impactos distintos na estrutura de capital das empresas pertencentes aos dois grupos de setores. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, os impactos verificados por algumas variveis, nomeadamente os OBFD e a Taxa de Inflao, no esto em linha com os impactos sugeridos pela literatura. The main goal of this empirical work is to study the differences in the financing decisions between export and non-export sectors in Portugal and to examine if the export intensity affects the Portuguese firms leverage levels. In order to give an answer to the purpose of this work, we collected a sample of 32 912 Portuguese non-public firms with data during the 2011-2015 period, and we divided those firms in export and non-export sectors.Having in mind the prominent capital structure literature, we analyzed the influence of (i) the capital structure determinants, namely the Taxes, Tangibility, Profitability, Size, Industry, Business Risk, Non-Debt Tax Shields and Inflation Rate in the firms leverage levels; and (ii) the influence of the export intensity in firms capital structures.Our results suggest that while some factors influence similarly the debt level of firms belonging to both export and non-export sectors - Tangibility, Profitability, Size, NDTS and IR -; specific variables - Taxes, Industry and BR variables - affect differently the capital structure of firms belong to the export vis--vis non-export sectors. According to the obtained results, the impact in firms debt levels of some of these variables, namely the Non-Debt Tax Shields and Inflation Rate, is not in line with the expected impact suggested by the existing literature.Advisors/Committee Members: Pinto, Joo Filipe Monteiro.
