Esta dissertação pretende verificar quais as variáveis que influenciam nas decisões relacionadas com a estrutura de capital. O objectivo deste trabalho é estudar um período de 5 anos em Portugal – 1984 a 1988, para 50 grandes empresas portuguesas.
As variáveis selecionadas são baseadas em estudos anteriores neste tema: tamanho, rendibilidade, nível de crescimento, estrutura do activo, vantagens fiscais e risco de negócio. Os resultados empíricos mostraram uma significância estatística positiva entre a estrutura do activo e o nível de endividamento. Por outro lado, a dimensão mostrou uma significância estatisticamente negativa com o nível de endividamento. Em relação às outras variáveis selecionadas, os resultados não indicaram nenhuma influência com as decisões na estrutura de capital.
This dissertation aims to verify what variables influence the decisions in the capital structure. The objective is to study a gap in a 5-year period in Portugal – 1984 to 1988. This study uses the financial reports of 50 large Portuguese manufacturing firms during this period. The variables were selected based on previous research in this area: size, profitability, level of growth, asset structure, fiscal advantages and business risk. The empirical results showed a statistically positive significant relationship between the asset structure and leverage. On the other hand, size had a statistically negative significant relationship with leverage. All the other variables showed insignificant relationship in the debt level in a firm.
