Resumo

Objetivo: analisar o value relevance e o desempenho environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) comparando o período antes e durante a pandemia.

Método: a amostra é composta por 1.937 observações de seis países das América Latina no período 2010-2021. Os dados foram coletados na Refinitiv Eikon® e tratados mediante painel de dados Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) e Generalized Method of Moments (GMM).

Resultados: evidenciam que a variável ESG apresentou relação significativa e negativa com o preço das ações para a análise geral (2010-2021) no modelo OLS, enquanto no modelo GMM a relação foi positiva. No OLS tanto antes quanto durante a pandemia não houve relação significativa, enquanto no GMM, a relação é negativa antes e positiva durante a pandemia. Os resultados no modelo GMM (referência nesta pesquisa pelo controle da endogeneidade) permitem concluir que os investidores das empresas da América Latina estão considerando as informações de desempenho ESG, principalmente durante a pandemia, como um fator preponderante para suas tomadas de decisões, conforme Teoria dos Stakeholders.

Contribuição: pode contribuir com investidores ao indicar que o desempenho ESG na América Latina é relevante, pois pode afetar positivamente o preço das ações. Os gestores também têm indícios de que o maior desempenho no ESG pode criar valor para a organização. Com isso, os investidores e gestores têm um indicativo de que quanto maior o desempenho ESG, maior tende a ser o preço da ação. O estudo também pode contribuir com os pesquisadores evidenciando que é preciso considerar problemas de endogeneidade nos modelos de value relevance.
