    Assets of foreignness in a regulated industry
    (2024) Santos, Leonardo Nery dos; Sheng, Hsia Hua; ADRIANA BRUSCATO BORTOLUZZO
    Purpose – Foreign subsidiaries incur substantial institutional conformity costs because they have to respond to host-country institutional pressures (Slangen & Hennart, 2008). The purpose of this paper is to study this type of cost from institutional and regulatory perspectives. The authors argue that these costs decrease when the host country adopts concepts of international regulations that multinationals may be familiar with due to their own home country regulation experience. This prior regulatory experience gives foreign subsidiaries an advantage of foreignness (AoF), which can offset their liability of foreignness (LoF). Design/methodology/approach – This study compared the returns on assets of 35 domestic firms with those of foreign subsidiaries in the Brazilian energy industry between 2002 and 2021, using regression dynamic panel data. Findings – The existence of a relationship between the international regulatory norm and the Brazilian regulator has transformed the LoF into an advantage of foreignness to compete with local energy firms. The results also suggest that the better the regulatory quality of the subsidiary’s country of origin, the better its performance in Brazil, as it can reduce compliance costs. Finally, the greater the psychic distance between Brazil and the foreign subsidiary’s home country, the worse its performance. Research limitations/implications – The research suggests that one of the keys to competitiveness in host countries is local regulatory ties. Prior international regulatory experience gives foreign subsidiaries an asset of foreignness (AoF). This result complements the current institutional and regulatory foreignness studies on emerging economies (Cuervo-Cazurra & Genc, 2008; Mallon et al., 2022) and the institutional asymmetry between home and host country (Mallon & Fainshmidt, 2017). Practical implications – This research suggests that one of the keys to competitiveness in host countries is local regulatory ties. Prior international regulatory experience gives foreign subsidiaries an asset of foreignness (AoF). This result complements the current institutional and regulatory foreignness studies on emerging economies (Cuervo-Cazurra & Genc, 2008; Mallon et al., 2022) and the institutional asymmetry between home and host country (Mallon & Fainshmidt, 2017). The practical implication is that the relationship between conformity costs, capital budget calculation and strategic planning for internationalization will be related to the governance quality of the home country of multinationals. The social implication is that a country interested in attracting more direct foreign investment to areas that need foreign technology transfer and resources may consider adopting international regulatory standards. Social implications – The social implication is that a country interested in attracting more direct foreign investment to areas that need foreign technology transfer and resources may consider adopting international regulatory standards. Originality/value – This research discuss firm and local regulator tie is one of core competitiveness in host countries (Yang and Meyer, 2020). This study also complements the current institutional and regulatory foreignness studies in emerging economy (Cuervo-Cazurra & Genc, 2008; Mallon et al., 2022). Second, prior regulatory experience of multinational enterprise in similar environment can affect its foreign affiliate performance (Perkins, 2014). Third, this study confirms current literature that argues that knowledge and ability to operate in an institutionalized country can be transferred from parent to affiliate. In the end, this study investigates whether AoF persists when host governments improve the governance of their industries.

    Rating changes and the impact on stock prices
    (2020) Baraccat, Bruno Borges; ADRIANA BRUSCATO BORTOLUZZO; Gonçalves, Adalto Barbaceia
    Purpose – The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of changes in credit ratings on the long-term return of Brazilian firms. Design/methodology/approach – We conducted an event study to measure how stock prices in the Brazilian stock exchange (B3) react to rating upgrades and downgrades by Moody’s and S&P. Findings – Our sample presents positive and significant returns measured by the BHAR for ratings downgrades and non-significant ones for upgrades. Our data also show the important role of the previous rating in explaining these results in a non-linear fashion. Originality/value – Our research makes an important contribution to the theory of market efficiency, analyzing the degree of information present in the announcements of credit ratings changes. We also present results for Brazilian companies, correcting gaps pointed out in previous methodologies.

    Gestão dos prazos da dívida corporativa: um olhar para as empresas de capital aberto no Brasil
    (2023) Santos, João Daniel Azevedo dos; ADRIANA BRUSCATO BORTOLUZZO; Gonçalves, Adalto Barbaceia
    Este estudo investiga a estrutura de vencimento da dívida de 275 empresas abertas não financeiras brasileiras de 2010 a 2019. Os resultados mostram que essas empresas não dispersam seus vencimentos de dívida na renovação, ao contrário do observado por Choi et al. (2018) para empresas dos Estados Unidos. Mesmo após o choque de rolagem da dívida depois da perda do grau de investimento da dívida soberana brasileira em 2015, essas empresas não aumentaram a dispersão de vencimentos. Ao utilizar a perda do grau de investimento do Brasil como um "experimento quase-natural" no modelo de choque de crédito, o presente estudo avalia a gestão da dívida corporativa. Os resultados indicam que as empresas brasileiras podem enfrentar consideráveis riscos de rolagem da dívida devido à concentração de vencimentos em faixas específicas durante futuros choques de crédito. O controle adequado das estruturas de financiamento é crucial para garantir que as empresas permaneçam resilientes e não precisem recusar investimentos lucrativos ou ativos de alta qualidade durante crises financeiras. Esta pesquisa tem implicações significativas para a prática corporativa e os riscos associados ao financiamento de projetos lucrativos, particularmente em países com mercados de capitais menos eficientes.

    Multichannel relational communication strategy: does one-sized strategy fit all customers?
    (2024) CARLA SOFIA DIAS MOREIRA RAMOS; ADRIANA BRUSCATO BORTOLUZZO; DANNY PIMENTEL CLARO
    This study aims to capture how the association between a multichannel relational communication strategy (MRCS) and customer performance is contingent upon such customer performance (low- versus high-performance customers) and to reconcile past contradictory results in this marketing-related topic. To this end, the authors propose and validate the method of quantile regression as an unconventional, yet effective, means to proceed to that reconciliation.
