Title in English
Does the nature of large projects affect the financing decisions over the investment period ?
Keywords in English

Capital structure

Working capital
Abstract in English
We develop a theoretical model based on Tirole (2006) where the nature of large investments, namely capital expenditure, research and development and working capital, affects the financing choice during the investment period. We use a sample comprised by American companies in the 1980-2017 period. We employ several econometric and graphic analyses to test our hypotheses. Our results are robust and consistent with Trade-off Theory predictions. Our model's propositions are empirically verified for all cases: (i) In CAPEX projects, firms use equity to finance the initial stages and debt to finance the last stages; (ii) throughout the R&D investment period, firms decrease debt and use equity to finance the project. Additionally, for large working capital projects, we show that firms use internal resources in the initial periods and, then, switch the source to debt, aiming the reduction of the deviation from the target leverage.

Abstract in Portuguese
Neste trabalho, desenvolvemos um modelo teórico baseado em Tirole (2006) em que a natureza de grandes projetos de investimentos, a saber: CAPEX, Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento e Capital de Giro, afeta as decisões de financiamento durante o período de investimentos. Nossa amostra é composta por empresas americanas e refere-se ao período de 1980 a 2017. Nós adotamos uma série de análises econométricas e gráficas para testar nossas hipóteses. Os resultados são robustos e consistentes com a teoria do Trade-off. As proposições do modelo são empiricamente verificadas: (i) nos projetos de CAPEX, as empresas usam capital próprio para financiar o projeto em seus estágios iniciais e dívida para os estágios finais; (ii) durante um investimento de P\&D, empresas diminuem seu endividamento, financiando o projeto com recursos próprios externos. Adicionalmente, para grandes investimentos em capital de giro, nossos resultados sugerem que as firmas usam recursos internos durante os estágios iniciais do projeto e, em seguida, trocam a fonte de financiamento para dívida, objetivando a redução do desvio em direção ao endividamento alvo.
