Efeitos da atuação do BNDES sobre o investimento

O presente estudo busca quantificar os efeitos dos desembolsos do BNDES sobre os investimentos dos setores da indústria e serviços a partir de bases de dados do IBGE e do BNDES. Os resultados, obtidos de estimações em painéis de efeitos fixos, aleatórios e Arellano-Bond, indicam que o efeito marginal dos empréstimos do BNDES aos investimentos dos setores pode ser positivo, ainda que bastante reduzido. Além disso, os setores apresentam resultados bastante heterogêneos entre si em sua reação ao recebimento de crédito do BNDES. Ao passo que alguns setores apresentam elasticidades consistentemente positivas, outros apresentaram elasticidade negativa do investimento às concessões do BNDES. Tais resultados indicam que pode haver efeito crowding out como resultado de políticas de direcionamento a empresas de maior porte, em detrimento das firmas menores. Ainda, na estimação de funções de risco, em um dos resultados verificou-se que os setores que recebem recursos do BNDES possuem maior probabilidade de acessar o mercado de capitais.

Determinantes de rentabilidade de empresas apoiadas pelo Programa BNDES de Desenvolvimento da Indústria de Software - BNDES PROSOFT Empresa

Este estudo objetiva analisar fatores que impactam a lucratividade de companhias beneficiadas com o Programa para Desenvolvimento da Indústria Nacional de Software e Serviços de TI – BNDES PROSOFT. A análise da lucratividade permeia diversos estudos no país e no exterior e é de suma importância para a realização de políticas públicas de qualidade. Para a avaliação, foram elencados diferentes aspectos microeconômicos, incluindo informações contábeis, de emprego, localização da empresa, segmento de atuação, entre outros, utilizando a metodologia de dados em painel. Dentre os resultados obtidos, pode-se destacar o impacto positivo do nível da escolaridade da equipe, lucratividade observada no exercício anterior, maior retorno das empresas menores frente às de maior porte. Houve penalidade no lucro daquelas companhias voltadas para fabricação de hardware, com equipes maiores. Constatou-se, também, um decréscimo no lucro de empresas no ano em que contrataram financiamentos com o BNDES, estas que foram posteriormente beneficiadas, no momento da implantação do projeto.

Betting on winner: the effect of local elections on corporate political activity outcomes

How can managers successfully access political rents by way of corporate political strategies (CPA)? Existing research has suggested several endogenous factors that correlate with CPA outcomes. I offer a more robust solution to this problem. Drawing on insights from the perspective of CPA as exchanges between firms and political decision-makers, and from the special interest politics of political economy, I develop and test a causal mechanism that links local elections, legislative bargaining and access to political rents at the national level. I conducted a natural experiment using regression discontinuity design and propensity score matching in municipal elections in Brazil to show that firms enjoy superior access to subsidized financing from the state-owned national development bank (BNDES) when they decide to invest in municipalities whose winning mayoral candidate is coalition-aligned with the national ruler. This effect fades away fades away as the level of competition in the local election decreases. The evidence implies that when managers bet on national coalition-aligned winners in close local elections, they positively affect CPA outcomes. I extend the exchange-based typology of corporate political strategies by offering a novel possibility of targeting voters with financial inducements, which I call a private local development strategy. Finally, these results show that firms exchange their project-execution capabilities for superior access to subsidized financing.

A estrategia de desenvolvimento no II PND: a estrategia industrial.

The objective of the second national development plan was to define industrial expansion in Brazil. The capital goods industry had to be aligned with large infrastructure projects. Also public sector national enterprise was a key element. A newly created financial base 'FIBASE', the national development bank, and state enterprises are principal agents of change in the industrial model. However, the II PND has not succeeded in changing the model because from the beginning it has not considered the realities of the Brazilian economy.-translated by J.Robertson
