Resumo(s)
I document a positive effect of both, positive and negative changes, of a firm’s leverage ratio on its stock returns for the Brazilian emerging market for the period of ranging from 2000 to 2016. I find positive alphas which indicates the existence of abnormal returns and try to explain them using asset pricing models. Additionally, I use the Event study methodology to quantify both the abnormal and cumulative abnormal returns. Furthermore, I run time series regressions for each company in the Brazilian index with available data to test the CAPM and Fama French 3 factor models and include other variables to possibly explain the abnormal returns.
