Utilize este identificador para referenciar este registo.

Resumo(s)

Based in two sub-samples of Portuguese SMEs: 1) 495 young SMEs; and 2) 1350 old SMEs, we conclude that age is a determinant factor in the relationships formed between determinants and profitability. Age, size, liquidity and long-term debt are of greater relative importance for the increased profitability of young SMEs, while risk is of greater relative importance for the diminished profitability of this type of SME, compared to the case of old SMEs. R&D expenditure is of greater relative importance for increased profitability in old SMEs, this type of SME having more persistent profitability, compared to the case of young SMEs.
