A crise financeira de 2008 e seus impactos nos setores da economia brasileira: uma abordagem por regressões quantílicas e teoria de Portfólio

Abstract

This study applies traditional techniques in Finance and Econometrics in order to analyze the impacts of Financial Crisis on some sectors of the Brazilian economy based upon market indicators provided by Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV). Initially we apply the theory proposed by Markowitz to sectoral indicators for eight economic sectors and estimate efficient portfolios in the pre and post-financial crisis periods and we verify that the weights established in the two cases differ dramatically. After that, we estimate quantile regressions for three sectors: Mining, Metallurgic and Textiles are estimated confronting the its returns against the return of the market portfolio and the implicit volatility measured. First of all, the model captures the increase in the risk premium demanded by investors in times of crisis; in spite of the models allow us to infer that there is a change in consumer behavior in times of economic instability in order to make him more risk-tolerant.
