Abstract

Este trabajo propone el uso de la variable Flujo de Caja Contable de la Explotación (FCE) como un factor con incidencia significativa en la estructura financiera de la empresa española en un periodo (2008-2012) caracterizado por dificultades para la financiación empresarial. En la literatura previa son escasos los trabajos que tienen en cuenta esta variable, midiendo la liquidez en la mayoría de los casos con datos obtenidos del Balance y la Cuenta de Resultados y no del Estado de Flujos de Efectivo (EFE). Metodológicamente se usa un análisis multivariante con datos de panel aplicados a una muestra de grandes empresas españolas no cotizadas. Adicionalmente, este trabajo se inserta en el debate teórico existente en la literatura acerca de los factores determinantes de la estructura financiera de las empresas. Los resultados indican que un modelo basado en datos del EFE, principalmente el FCE tiene capacidad predictiva de dicha estructura financiera. || This paper proposes the use of the Cash Flow from Operations (CFO) obtained from Cash Flow Statement (CFS) as a factor with significant impact on the financial structure of the Spanish firms in a period (2008-2012) that was characterized by dificulties in business finance. In the previous literature, there are few studies that consider this variable, since liquidity in most cases was measured with data obtained from the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement. Methodologically, we have used a multivariate panel data analysis applied to a sample of large Spanish companies not quoted on the stock exchange. Additionally, this work embeds into the theoretical debate existing in the literature about the determinants of the financial structure of firms. The results indicate that a data model based on figures from CSF, mainly the CFO, has predictive ability of the financial structure.
