Abstract

La investigación en torno a relevancia de los activos intangibles para la valoración de las empresas a nivel de los mercados de capitales viene desarrollándose con un sostenido interés, el cual encuentra su plena justificación en el marco del modelo contable actual, donde aún persisten las controversias con relación al tratamiento contable de estos activos. En este marco, la presente investigación tiene como propósito revisar la literatura empírica que se ha ocupado de examinar su relevancia valorativa, a fin de presentar el estado actual de la investigación en esta temática. Desde el punto de vista metodológico, se ha realizado una investigación descriptiva y de tipo documental, concretada a través de la revisión y análisis de la literatura más significativa producida en las últimas tres décadas en distintos entornos contables. La revisión realizada refleja evidencias sólidas en torno a la existencia de una asociación significativa y positiva entre la cifra global correspondiente a los activos intangibles y el valor de mercado de las acciones, como así también entre dicho valor y la partida referida a los activos intangibles identificables. Sin embargo, la evidencia no es del todo concluyente en lo que respecta a la relevancia valorativa de la llave de negocio./ The research stream on the relevance of intangible assets for the valuation of companies at the level of capital markets has been developing with a sustained interest, which finds its full justification in the current accounting model, where controversies on the accounting treatment of these assets still persist. In this context, the present research aims to review the empirical literature that has examined the value relevance of intangible assets, in order to present the current state of research in this area. From the methodological point of view, a descriptive and documentary investigation has been carried out, concretized through the review and analysis of the most significant literature produced in the last three decades and in different accounting environments. The review reflects strong evidence regarding the existence of a significant and positive association between the global figure corresponding to intangible assets and the market value of companies shares, as well as between that value and the item referred to identifiable intangible assets. However, the evidence is not entirely conclusive regarding the value relevance of goodwill. It is also noted that most of the studies have been carried out on capital markets with an important degree of development.
