Abstract
This article reports an effort to characterize Brazilian innovative firms. This characterization was done based on data from PINTEC-2000 (Industrial Research of Technological Innovation-2000) information. To do it, a statistical non-parametrical procedure was employed, which informed, in a decreasing order, that the four main factors that distinguish innovative and non-innovative firms were the export orientation, the size of the firm, the foreign capital origin, and the industrial sector effect. An econometric analysis of sectorial data was carried out which made possible to complement and endorse the results obtained earlier for the whole industry.References
