“…As variáveis dependentes, que representam o desempenho das empresas, consistem em medidas contábeis tradicionais (Retorno sobre os Investimentos -ROI; Retorno sobre o Patrimônio Lí-quido -ROE; e Valor Econômico Adicionado -EVA) e de mercado (Retorno das ações -RET) já consagradas pela literatura (KIM, 2002;FELTHAM et al, 2004;TUTINO, 2011).
