Working Paper Corporate Financial Policies and the Exchange Rate Regime: Evidence from Brazil(2008) Rossi Júnior, José LuizEste trabalho analisa o relacionamento entre a política financeira das empresas e o regime cambial para uma amostra de empresas brasileiras não-financeiras no período de 1996 a 2006. Os resultados indicam que, além de reduzir a proporção da dívida expressa em moeda estrangeira e aumentar a utilização de derivativos, a adoção de um regime de câmbio flutuante leva a um maior casamento monetário entre a ativo e o passivo das firmas. O trabalho mostra que esta melhora no gerenciamento de risco das firmas dá-se, principalmente, nas firmas mais expostas ao risco cambial. Os resultados confirmam que o regime cambial exerce um papel importante na determinação da vulnerabilidade externa das firmas.Working Paper Testes Empíricos Sobre Market Timing na Determinação da Estrutura de Capital das Empresas Brasileiras(2008) Rossi Júnior, José Luiz; Céspedes, José IgnácioO trabalho testa a teoria do equity market timing da determinação da estrutura de capital para uma amostra de empresas brasileiras no período de 1996 a 2006. Os resultados mostram que, consistente com a teoria de market timing, as empresas financiam uma fração maior do seu déficit de fundos com capital próprio quando o custo deste é baixo relativo ao capital de terceiros e quando seu valor de mercado é alto comparado a seu valor patrimonial.Working Paper What is the Value of Corporate Social Responsibility? An answer from Brazilian Sustainability Index(2008) Rossi Júnior, José LuizThis paper analyzes using a sample of non-financial Brazilian companies from 2005 to 2007 whether corporate social responsibility has an impact on firm value. Using companies’ Tobin’s Q as a proxy for their market value, the paper finds that firms that compose the Bovespa Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE) are traded with a premium compared to the other publicly traded firms. The result is robust to the inclusion of a set of control variables and the method of estimation. In addition, after controlling for self-selectivity, the results confirm that policies that focus corporate sustainability add value to the firm. The paper indicates that the benefits of corporate social responsibility policies surpass the possible costs implied by the adoption of such policies, leading corporate social responsibility to exert a positive impact on firm value.Working Paper Exchange Rate Exposure, Foreign Currency Debt and the Use of Derivatives: Evidence from Brazil(2008) Rossi Júnior, José LuizThis paper studies the exchange rate exposure and its determinants for a sample of non-financial Brazilian companies from 1996 to 2006. The results show that more than 25% of the firms in the sample have significant exchange rate exposure. Moreover, the results indicate that the number of firms exposed is higher in periods of crisis and under a fixed exchange rate regime. In addition, the results point out that although companies’ international activities, operational hedging and financial policies are important determinants of firms’ foreign exposure, the changes in companies’ exposure that took place when the country moved from a fixed to a floating exchange rate regime were mainly driven by changes in companies’ foreign currency borrowing and the use of derivatives that occurred in the period.
