EFFECTS OF FINANCIALIZATION ON PRODUCTIVE INVESTMENT: EVIDENCE FOR BRAZILIAN NON-FINANCIAL PUBLICLY TRADED COMPANIES (2010 to 2016)

ABSTRACT

This paper sought to investigate the impact of financialization on the productive investment of publicly traded Brazilian companies from 2010 to 2016. To do so, a dynamic panel data model was estimated by Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) using accounting and financial data from these companies. Results showed that debt, cost of capital, interest on equity and dividend payments hindered the productive investment of non-financial companies, while the operating profit affected it positively. This reveals a financialization process in Brazilian companies and that such phenomenon has a negative impact on productive investment.
