Capital structure determinants of private and public firms in an emerging economy: a panel data quantile regression analysis
(2024) ADRIANA BRUSCATO BORTOLUZZO; Sanvicente, Antonio Zoratto; Bortoluzzo, Maurício Mesquita
Purpose This study explores distinct capital structure patterns between private and public companies, examining the varying influence of determinants on debt choices contingent upon a firm’s existing debt position. Design/methodology/approach Employing annual data from 2012 to 2022 for 142 public firms and 660 private firms in a large emerging economy, we use quantile regression within a panel data framework to study the heterogeneous effects of debt determinants, incorporating firm and time random effects. Findings Our findings indicate that such factors as size and operating margin contribute to higher levels of debt, while investment opportunities reduce the debt level. Further analyses, when accounting for a firm’s likelihood of being publicly traded, reveal that dividend payout and operating margin significantly influence debt levels, exclusively in the presence of high debt proportions. Conversely, investment opportunities emerge as a substantial determinant in all debt scenarios. In addition, we found a strong persistence in the indebtedness of companies, and we conclude that the effect of the determinants of indebtedness is heterogeneous according to the level of debt of companies. Originality/value This research provides a comprehensive comparison between private and public firms, not only in terms of debt levels but also in key capital structure determinants, highlighting their significance within the context of varying debt levels.
Determinant factors of banking proftability: an application of quantile regression for panel data
(2024) ADRIANA BRUSCATO BORTOLUZZO; Ciganda, Rodrigo Ricardo; Bortoluzzo, Mauricio Mesquita
This study examines the determinants of bank proftability using a quantile regression approach, ofering insights into factors afecting banks across diferent percentiles of proftability. Utilizing a comprehensive database from Orbis covering 1200 top-market institutions across 101 countries, the research uniquely employs dynamic panel quantile regression while addressing sample survival bias. Our fndings highlight that bank size and capital adequacy nega tively impact proftability, whereas market value exerts a positive infuence on higher proftability banks. Credit risk afects proftability diferently across levels of proftability, and infation rate shows signifcance only for higher proft ability banks. The study contributes to the existing literature by ofering valuable insights into the factors determining bank proftability and how they behave at diferent percentiles in the sample, suggesting the importance of bank efciency and competition in promoting economic growth
Análise dos determinantes do desempenho industrial: o caso do setor de higiene pessoal, perfumaria e cosméticos no Brasil no período 2001-2013
(2022) ADRIANA BRUSCATO BORTOLUZZO; Valfré, Livia Amaral; GUILHERME FOWLER DE AVILA MONTEIRO
Durante o período 2001 a 2013, o setor de higiene pessoal, perfumaria e cosméticos (HPPC) apresentou-se como um dos mais dinâmicos da economia brasileira. O setor atingiu níveis de crescimento médio real próximo a 10% ao ano (a.a.), ultrapassando a evolução média da indústria em geral (2,2% a.a.) e o crescimento médio do produto interno bruto – PIB (3,0% a.a.). Diante desse extraordinário desempenho, investigamos os determinantes macroeconômicos e demográficos da expansão desse setor. Para tanto, estimamos regressões com dados em painel tendo como referência as vendas anuais de um conjunto específico de produtos. A conclusão é que as variáveis mais importantes para explicar as vendas do setor de HPPC são a taxa de inflação e a taxa de juros, em combinação com a renda e o nível de desemprego.
Technological Adoption: The Case of PIX in Brazil
(2024) Gabriel Bernardes Amboage; GUILHERME FOWLER DE AVILA MONTEIRO; ADRIANA BRUSCATO BORTOLUZZO
Purpose This study investigates the primary determinants of consumers' intention to adopt PIX as a payment method in Brazil, as well as their actual usage behavior. Design/methodology/approach The study employs the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to analyze both the intention to use and the actual period of use of PIX technology as a measure of practical usage. With this approach, researchers can determine whether people’s intention to use PIX translates into a higher rate of technology adoption and effective and sustained usage. The study collected data from 659 consumers across Brazil through a questionnaire and used structural equation analysis to analyze the data. Findings Research suggests that the intention to adopt PIX as a payment method is mainly determined by the perceived value, performance expectancy, and the habit of using mobile internet. Positive associations are also confirmed between adoption intention, the effective usage time of PIX, and the habit of using mobile internet in conjunction with PIX use. Originality/value The study’s uniqueness stems from its focus on the PIX usage, which is becoming the primary payment method in Brazil. It also measures the practical usage of the technology by examining the duration of user experience. This enables the assessment of whether the intention to use PIX effectively translates into a higher speed of technology adoption.
