Abstract

El presente trabajo analiza los determinantes financieros de la inversión en activos de largo plazo de una muestra de empresas españolas. El análisis se articula en dos fases: identificación de aquellas empresas que sufren en mayor medida el efecto de las restricciones financieras y estudio de la sensibilidad de la inversión a la liquidez en dichas empresas. Entre los factores relevantes del grado de restricción se encuentran el endeudamiento, la deuda de procedencia bancaria, la composición del activo, el tamaño de la empresa y la cobertura de los gastos financieros. También se observa cómo en esas empresas la liquidez condiciona notablemente la inversión de largo plazo. Por el contrario, en las empresas menos afectadas por las restricciones financieras, los factores financieros inciden en la inversión en la medida en que se vinculan a futuras oportunidades de crecimiento. In this paper we are concerned with the impact of the financial factors on the capital expenditures of Spanish non-financial firms. The analysis is undertaken in two steps: firstly we try to identify the most constratined firms and, secondly, we test the sensitivity of the investment to the liquidity. The leverage, the banking debt, the composition of the assets and the size of the company seem to tighten the financial constraints. We also find that in the most constrained firms there is a link between liquidity and capital expenditures. On the contrary, in the least constrained firms the liquidity may affect capital expenditures as long as it is related to growth opportunities.
