Abstract

Este artigo examina empiricamente a demanda de derivativos de câmbio de empresas brasileiras de capital aberto. Para tanto, construimos um banco de dados original com 23.767 contratos de swap cambial entre empresas e instituições financeiras em aberto em 2002. A partir destes contratos, identificamos 42 empresas de capital aberto que fizeram hedge no mercado de derivativos de câmbio e 51 que especularam. Os dados mostram que a existência de dívida externa e o tamanho da empresa afetaram positivamente a probabilidade de hedge, enquanto as receitas de exportação afetaram positivamente a probabilidade de especulação. Estes resultados sugerem que em períodos de grande volatilidade do câmbio - como no ano de 2002 - a demanda das empresas por derivativos de câmbio está fortemente relacionada a motivos especulativos.
