No. of bitstreams: 1 Natalia Lopes_Final.pdf: 1150711 bytes, checksum: 79a8982512192755c02ea2a9b32168e4 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-02-06 / We analyze the impact of firm-specific characteristics as well as economic factors on the speed of adjustment to the target debt ratio. Using different methods, we document speeds of adjustment ranging from 14.4% to 37%. The results indicate that the speed of adjustment is affected by business-cycle variables: The interaction term related to term spread reveals, as expected, faster adjustment in booms than in recessions and a negative relationship between short term spread and adjustment speed. We also show that the speed of adjustment becomes stationary when the increasing fractions of zero-debt firms are considered. / Analisamos o impacto de características específicas da empresa, bem como os fatores econômicos sobre a velocidade de ajustamento para alcançar o ponto ótimo da dívida. Usando métodos diferentes, encontramos velocidades de ajustamento que variam de 14,4% a 37%. Os resultados indicam que a velocidade de ajustamento é afetada por variáveis do ciclo de negócios: O termo de interação relacionado ao term spread revela, como esperado, um ajustamento mais rápido em booms do que em recessões e uma relação negativa entre o spread de curto prazo e velocidade de ajustamento. Mostramos também que a velocidade de ajustamento torna-se estacionária quando o aumento das de firmas com dívida zero é considerado.
