Resumo: The theory holds that in emerging economies, such as the Brazilian one, companies seek to strengthen ties with governmental and institutional actors in order to improve their performance. From the theoretical perspective of the Institutional Theory, this study intends to contribute to previous research, integrating the fields of strategy and finance, investigating the influence of political connections, through campaign donations, the cost of capital and the performance of listed companies on B3. We worked with panel data for data analysis on the period ranging from 1998 to 2016. Our findings do not corroborate the theoretical and intuitive prediction that “crony capitalism” reduces the cost of capital and improves the performance of companies, since we did not obtain empirical evidence that allows affirming that the effect of donations on the cost of capital and the performance of connected companies is different from zero.

Sob a perspectiva teórica da Teoria Institucional, o presente estudo pretende contribuir com pesquisas anteriores, integrando os campos da estratégia e de finanças, investigando a influência das conexões políticas, por meio das doações de campanha, no custo de capital e no desempenho das empresas listadas na B3. Trabalhamos com dados em painel para análise dos dados no período 1998 a 2016. Nossos achados não corroboram a predição teórica e intuitiva de que o “capitalismo de compadrio” reduz o custo de capital e melhora o desempenho das empresas, uma vez que não obtivemos evidências empíricas as quais permitam afirmar que o efeito das doações no custo de capital e no desempenho das empresas conectadas é diferente de zero. FUCAPE Business Shool2018-07-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed ArticleArtigo revisado pelos paresapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://www.bbronline.com.br/index.php/bbr/article/view/21910.15728/bbr.2018.15.4.1Brazilian Business Review; Vol. 15 No. 4 (2018): July to August 2018; 317-330Brazilian Business Review; v. 15 n. 4 (2018): Julho a Agosto de 2018; 317-3301808-23861807-734Xreponame:BBR.
