Sumario: The objective of this study is to analyze the economic efficiency of Latin American technology companies according to their capital structure. Therefore, we carried out a descriptive study, using documentary and quantitative evidence. The sample included Latin American companies in the technology sector in Thomson’s® database, from 2009 to 2013. The evidence shows that Brazilian companies had higher debt levels from 2009 to 2013. So, it seems that Brazilian companies use more third-party capital to finance their assets. Regarding the economic efficiency measured by an efficiency score obtained by the DEA,® according to capital structure, debt ratio and profitability, Brazilian companies have a lower economic efficiency compared to other Latin American companies.
