Does the use of derivatives add value to the firm? a study using brazilian data

Main Article Content

José Luiz Rossi Júnior

Abstract

This article examines the use of derivatives and its impact on firm value for a sample of non-financial Brazilian companies listed in the São Paulo Stock Exchange from 1996 to 2006. Using parametric and non-parametric methods, the results confirm that the use of derivatives adds value to the firm, indicating that, differently than asserted by Modigliani and Miller (1958), corporate financing policies do exert an impact on firm-value.
