Resumo: Models for investment evaluation that employ financial measures based on the market such as Tobin's q, are still scarce in the national literature. Therefore, the present work aims to analyze the behavior of Tobin's q for Brazilian and North American iron and steel companies present in the stock market at BOVESPA and NYSE, by presenting an econometric study on some of its key macroeconomic and microeconomic determinants from 1997 to 2005. Tobin's q calculated for selected Brazilian companies revealed to be increasing over the selected period. Regarding Tobin's q for U.S. companies, it was verified that such indicator was less than 1, thus pointing to a disincentive to new investment. The econometric analysis carried out indicated that the economic variables such as interest rate, unemployment rate, and the level of industrial production were influent factors in explaining the behavior of Tobin's q, both for Brazilian and for U.S. companies. We conclude that the indicator captures relevant information from the major macroeconomic and microeconomic determinants of iron and steel companies, enhancing their potential for the financial analysis of this sector. Key words: Tobin's q. Iron and steel companies. Econometric model.

Econometric model.Los modelos para evaluar inversiones que emplean medidas financieras con base en el mercado, como el q de Tobin, aún son incipientes en la literatura nacional. De forma que este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar el comportamiento del q de Tobin en las compañías siderúrgicas brasileñas y norteamericanas, con acciones negociadas en BOVESPA y en NYSE y presentar un estudio econométrico sobre algunos de los principales determinantes macro y microeconómicos en el período comprendido entre 1997 y 2005. El q de Tobin calculado para las empresas brasileñas seleccionadas permaneció en aumento durante el período seleccionado. Con relación al q de Tobin en empresas norteamericanas se comprobó que este indicador fue inferior a 1, indicando desinterés en nuevas inversiones. El análisis econométrico realizado indicó que las variables económicas tales como la tasa de interés, la tasa de desempleo y el nivel de la producción industrial fueron factores de influencia determinantes para explicar el comportamiento del q de Tobin, tanto en empresas brasileñas como en empresas norteamericanas. Se concluye que este indicador captura informaciones relevantes de los principales determinantes macro y microeconómicos del sector siderúrgico y destaca su potencial para el análisis financiero de este sector.Palabras clave: q de Tobin. Compañías siderúrgicas. Modelo econométrico. Modelos de avaliação de investimentos, que empregam medidas financeiras com base no mercado, como o q de Tobin, ainda são incipientes na literatura nacional. Assim, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar o comportamento do q de Tobin para Companhias Siderúrgicas Brasileiras e Norte-americanas, com ações negociadas na BOVESPA e NYSE, apresentando um estudo econométrico sobre alguns de seus principais determinantes macro e microeconômicos no período de 1997 a 2005. O q de Tobin calculado para as empresas brasileiras selecionadas apresentou-se crescente ao longo do período selecionado. Em relação ao q de Tobin para as empresas norte-americanas, verificou-se que este indicador foi menor que 1, demonstrando um desestímulo a novos investimentos. A análise econométrica realizada indicou que, as variáveis econômicas tais como a taxa de juros, a taxa de desemprego e o nível de produção industrial foram fatores de influência determinantes para explicar o comportamento do q de Tobin, tanto para as empresas brasileiras como para as empresas norte-americanas. Conclui-se que este indicador captura informações relevantes dos principais determinantes macro e microeconômicos do setor siderúrgico, destacando o seu potencial para a análise financeira deste setor.
