Abstract

[eng] This article offers a dynamic analysis of the debt ratio of a broad panel of French firms , incorporating R & D activity and using the system GMM estimation method. The results show that R & D intensity (ratio of R & D expenditures to sales) has a negative influence on the ratios of bank debt to total resources and to total debt. Profitability also has a negative impact on these ratios, even as small businesses and listed firms have a higher proportion of bank debt. Lastly, these effects prove robust to the introduction of additional explanatory variables, several of which are found to be significant. For instance, the use of bank debt increases with loan guarantees and decreases with financing by the enterprise group. [fre] Cet article propose une analyse dynamique du taux d’endettement d’un large panel d’entreprises françaises prenant en compte la réalisation d’une activité de R & D. Les estimations sont réalisées par la méthode des moments généralisés en système (system GMM). Les résultats obtenus montrent que l’effort de R & D (dépenses de R & D sur chiffre d’affaires) influence négativement les ratios rapportant la dette bancaire aux ressources et à la dette totale. La profitabilité exerce aussi un impact négatif sur ces ratios alors que les PME et les entreprises cotées s'endettent davantage auprès des banques. Enfin, ces effets se révèlent robustes à l’introduction de variables explicatives additionnelles et plusieurs d’entre elles s’avèrent significatives. Ainsi, le recours à la dette bancaire augmente avec les garanties et se réduit avec les financements du groupe.
