Abstract

This work has been done with the purpose of advancing in the research about financing difficulties of the Brazilian company. Such difficulties are researched for capital expenditures as well as for financing innovation activities. The empirical implications are characterized by a dynamic investment model, as proposed by Bond and Meghir (1994), that assumes the presence of convex costs of adjustment and the objective of firm value maximization. For a sample of non financial Brazilian companies in the period 1995-2006, the results show that the Brazilian firm faces difficulties to finance its capital expenditure as well as innovation with external funds.
