Previous issue date: 2014-08-08 / In this study, I analyze the performance of family and non-family firms in Europe between 2001 to 2013 with special attention given to the 2008-09 financial crisis. Twelve years of data have been collected and analyzed by two models: the market adjustment model and a panel estimation technique. Contrary to the hypothesis, results show that family firms do not significantly outperform non-family firms during the overall period -- before-, during-, and after the crisis. However, in terms of beta, significant differences are clearly discernible. One could say that family firms are in general less volatile and show extremely low volatility in the crisis compared to the market. / Neste estudo, analiso o desempenho de empresas familiares e não-familiares na Europa, entre 2001 e 2013, com uma especial atenção ao período da crise financeira de 2008 e 2009. Doze anos de dados foram recolhidos e analisadosusando dois modelos: o modelo de ajustamento do mercado e uma técnica de estimativa de painéis. Ao contrário das expectativas, os resultados mostram que as empresas familiares não têm resultados significativamente superiores às empresas não familiares durante o período em análise, inclusive antes, durante, e depois da crise. No entanto, considerando o valor do beta, existem diferenças significativas. É possível concluir que as empresas familiares são, em geral, menos voláteis e que durante a crise apresentaram uma volatilidade extremamente baixa comparativamente com o mercado.JEL
