Resumo
This study aims to portray the influence of innovation (considering R&D expenses, patent
application and investments in equipment and IT) on performance in term of profitability (profit
margin), efficiency (total asset turnover) and equity multiplier (leverage) in the aerospace and
defense industry of United States of America. Such influence was analyzed through nine
hypotheses. The sample consists of ten US firms considering those that showed balance sheets in
the period from 1987 to 2016, adopting the Thomson Reuters Eikon database for performance,
R&D expenses and investments in equipment and IT data. As for the patent application data, the
World Intellectual Property Organization database were used. For the analyzes, were used
dynamic models of regression for a balanced panel data, intending to capture dynamic relations,
over time, of the observations. For further investigation, regressions for each firm were generated
to analyze the relationship between innovation and performance on a case-by-case basis. The
result of the panel analysis suggests that there is a statistically positive and significant
relationship between R&D expenditures and the total asset turnover. Therefore, only one of the
hypotheses was supported. For the analysis case-by-case, different hypotheses were supported.
There is one case where R&D positively impacts the profit margin. For the positive impact of
R&D on the total asset turnover, there are three cases. Considering the investment in equipment
and IT, there were five cases in which there was a positive impact, one case considering the profit
margin, two cases considering the total asset turnover and two cases considering the equity
multiplier. Lastly, for the positive impact of patent applications, there are two cases, one related
to profit margin and another related to equity multiplier. This study contributes to the literature
providing empirical evidence of the positive and significant relationship between innovation and
performance. However, the relationship was better verified in the case-by-case analysis and only
for six firms, considering the different interactions among the variables used.
