A corporate governance index is constructed from a set of five sub-indices which were compiled from publicly available information. The indices have been used to determine how corporate governance practises have evolved over the period. The results of the study show a positive and significant relationship between firm value and greater overall corporate governance in Brazilian listed firms, as well as the component sub-indices. / Esta tese investiga a relação entre a qualidade da governança corporativa das empresas e o seu valor de mercado, como é medido pelo Q de Tobin, para empresas brasileiras listadas no BM&FBovespa entre 2010 e 2014. O índice de governança corporativa utilizado foi construído a partir de um conjunto de cinco sub-índices que foram compilados a partir de informação disponível publicamente. Estes índices foram utilizados com o intuito de determinar como as práticas de governança corporativa evoluíram durante o período em estudo. O resultado desta tese mostra uma relação positiva expressiva entre o valor de mercado das empresas e a manutenção de uma melhor governança corporativa nas empresas brasileiras listadas, assim como com os sub-índices referidos.
