Abstract

O estudo objetiva testar a relação entre restrições ao crédito e investimentos das firmas brasileiras utilizando a estratégia delineada por Almeida e Campello (2007), a qual se mostra robusta às diversas críticas levantadas pela literatura. Os resultados encontrados sugerem que: 1) firmas classificadas como não restritas, em geral, comportam-se exatamente como prevê o modelo neoclássico; e 2) firmas classificadas como restritas comportam-se de maneira consistente com o modelo de Almeida e Campello (2007). Esses resultados diferem substancialmente daqueles evidenciados em estudos anteriores no Brasil e constituem uma evidência (original) da existência do efeito multiplicador de crédito no nível de firma.
