Abstract

O trabalho apresenta a metodologia utilizada na construção do índice de confiança do empresário de pequenos e médios negócios no Brasil (IC-PMN) e analisa os resultados da primeira coleta realizada no último trimestre de 2008. Os resultados indicam que o empresário brasileiro de pequenos e médios negócios encontra-se otimista com relação à trajetória da economia, mas a crise financeira mundial já começa a afetar a confiança dos empresários. Os resultados também indicam que os empresários demonstram mais otimismo em relação à sua própria trajetória do que em relação ao panorama econômico geral. Além disso, os empresários da região nordeste indicam estar mais otimistas que seus pares em outras regiões.
