摘要
This paper investigates the effects of the financial system on a firm's investment decisions using data from 404 Brazilian firms over the 1998-2006 period. We also use country-level data and classify firms as financially constrained and unconstrained according to the MZ and WW indexes. The results show that financial development has a significant impact on a firm's investment Furthermore, the financial structure has an effect on the investment behavior of constrained firms even after controlling for the level of financial development. This finding points to a market-based financial system in order to reduce the constrained firms dependence on internal resources. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
