“…This observation reinforces the crucial role of institutional quality on growth, Daud & Podivinsky (2014). From the above, the role of quality institutions could be crucial and now, institutions are considered in the debate on the relationship between debt and growth, Cadoret et al, (2014); Bernardo et al, (2018); Kourtellos et al, (2013).…”

“…Empiricamente, diferentes trabalhos, em diferentes contextos, verificaram fatores associados às características das firmas (Frank & Goyal, 2009;Kieschnick & Moussawi, 2018;H. Li & Stathis, 2017), fatores institucionais e fatores macroeconômicos (Bernardo et al, 2018;Daher, 2017;Shah, Shah, Smith, & Labianca, 2017) que explicariam as decisões relacionadas a estrutura de capital e que, nesta perspectiva, contrapõem o Teorema de Modigliani-Miller (construído sob uma série de premissas restritivas). Wojewodzki, Poon, e Shen (2018) enfatizam a importância de três correntes teóricas que procuram explorar estes fatores que explicariam as decisões de estrutura de capital das firmas: a Teoria do Trade-off, a Teoria do Pecking Order e a Teoria do Market Timing.…”

“…No entanto, tanto a Teoria do Trade-off quanto a Teoria do Pecking Order não conseguem explicar porquê em alguns momentos firmas capazes de financiar suas atividades com dívidas optam pela emissão de ações (Bernardo et al, 2018). Neste sentido, dado a existência de lacunas não esclarecidas pelas teóricas clássicas de estrutura de capital (Teoria do Trade-off e Teoria do Pecking Order), pesquisadores procuraram abordagens alternativas, como a abordagem do equity market timing, consolidada com o estudo de M. Baker e Wurgler (2002).…”
