          Abstract

          ABSTRACT This paper investigates the relationship between the competitive advantage and balance sheet composition of the firm, based on metrics contained in the structure of financial statements, from endogenous origin (firm's balance sheet composition) or exogenous (level of sector concentration). In addition, we perform tests in order to verify whether the exogenous characteristics moderate the relation between endogenous characteristics and the firm's operational performance. We selected data from the Economatica® database, a Brazilian company specialized in information for the capital market. We based the tests on the hierarchical model approach with repeated measures involving serial and nested regressions, estimated by maximum likelihood. The test results suggest that (i) the firm's idiosyncratic features have greater explanatory capability for the firm's performance than the industry features; (ii) the relation between firm idiosyncratic resources and firm performance are sensitive to industry characteristics.

          RESUMO Este artigo investigou a relação entre a vantagem competitiva e a composição patrimonial da firma, com base em métricas contidas na estrutura das demonstrações contábeis, a partir de origem endógena (composição patrimonial da firma) ou exógena (nível de concentração do setor). Adicionalmente, verificou-se se as características exógenas moderam a relação entre características endógenas e o desempenho operacional da firma. A amostra para o estudo foi extraída do banco de dados da Economatica, empresa especializada em informações para o mercado de capitais. Utilizou-se a abordagem de modelos hierárquicos com medidas repetidas que envolvem regressões em série aninhadas, estimadas por máxima verossimilhança. Os resultados sugerem (i) que os recursos idiossincráticos da firma têm maior capacidade de explicação do desempenho operacional do que as características do ambiente onde a firma se insere; (ii) que a relação entre os recursos idiossincráticos da firma e o seu desempenho operacional são sensíveis às características do setor.
