摘要
This paper aims to analyze the determinants of the capital structure of Brazilian banks, as recent studies suggest that regulatory requirements do not have a primary effect on the leverage of the banking sector. The methodology is characterized by a quantitative approach, with a sample formed by 80 institutions in the period from 2010 to 2017, based on accounting information available on the website of the Central Bank of Brazil - BACEN. The techniques used involved descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and multiple linear regression with panel data. The results indicated that the main determinants of the capital structure of non-financial companies are statistically significant to explain the leverage of Brazilian banking institutions, with risk, size and tangibility being significant at the 1% level, profitability at the 5% level. In the macroeconomic variables tested, only IPCA was significant at 5%. In addition, the results signaled that Brazilian banks prioritize their financing sources in line with the Pecking Order Theory.
