Resumo

As empresas zombis poden clasificarse como non rendibles, con baixa produtividade e con dez anos ou máis de antigüidade; estas empresas seguen existindo grazas ao apoio dos bancos e os gobernos. Este traballo pretende coñecer o impacto deste tipo de empresas no investimento, o crecemento do emprego e a produtividade laboral das empresas sas do comercio maiorista e minorista e do sector da hostalería durante o período 2011-2018. Os datos obtidos indican que a prevalencia das empresas zombis en Portugal (nos sectores obxecto de estudo) é maior en períodos de crise económica e que a maioría delas son empresas antigas e de gran tamaño, especialmente no sector da hostalería. Mediante o uso de modelos de datos de panel con efectos fixos, a nosa investigación conclúe que as empresas zombi afectan negativamente á xestión das empresas sas, xa que reducen o gasto de investimento e a produtividade da man de obra destas últimas.
