O efeito país sobre o desempenho da firma: uma abordagem multinível

Autoria SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Resumos

Este trabalho analisou a influência do país sobre o desempenho das firmas. A análise empírica tomou por base uma amostra de 83.641 observações de 10.927 firmas em 37 países e 224 indústrias, em um período de 10 anos. Um modelo linear hierárquico de três níveis com classificação cruzada permitiu identificar que a importância relativa dos efeitos país, indústria e interação indústria-país é semelhante e, em conjunto, aproximadamente da mesma magnitude do efeito firma. Além de estimar a importância do efeito país, o trabalho analisou a infl uência individual de cada país sobre o desempenho das fi rmas, o que permitiu a elaboração de um ranking de países com base na lucratividade das fi rmas.

This paper analyses country effects on firm performance. Empirical analysis was based on a sample of 83,641 observations and 10,927 firms in 37 countries and 224 industries, in a 10 year time span. A cross-classified 3-level hierarchical linear model allowed the estimation of country, industry and country-industry interaction effects, which had approximately the same relative importance. Altogether, these effects were nearly as important as firm effect. The influence of each specific country on the performance of its firms was also studied and a ranking of countries based on fi rm profitability was developed.

ABSTRACT

This paper analyses country effects on firm performance. Empirical analysis was based on a sample of 83,641 observations and 10,927 firms in 37 countries and 224 industries, in a 10 year time span. A cross-classified 3-level hierarchical linear model allowed the estimation of country, industry and country-industry interaction effects, which had approximately the same relative importance. Altogether, these effects were nearly as important as firm effect. The influence of each specific country on the performance of its firms was also studied and a ranking of countries based on fi rm profitability was developed.

Keywords: Strategy, performance, competitive advantage, country effect, multilevel models.
