Resumen

Este trabajo propone un análisis de las diferencias de eficiencia entre las pequeñas y medianas (Pymes) empresas familiares frente a las no familiares. Las particularidades financieras y organizativas de este tipo de organizaciones han sido discutidas, principalmente, a través de la Teoría de Agencia y la de Costes de Transacción. Debido a la importancia que la variable tamaño tiene sobre estos dos tipos de organizaciones, se ha considerado necesario estratificar la muestra a través de esta variable. De igual forma, las singularid ades en la eficiencia de las empresas familiares son analizadas por sectores de actividad. Sin embargo, y contrariamente a lo que se podía esperar, no hubo diferencias en la eficiencia de las Pymes familiares frente a las no familiares.
