Abstract

O objetivo deste texto é avaliar o impacto de intervenções regulatórias pontuais no risco de mercado dos setores de telecomunicações e de energia elétrica no Brasil. Nele, utiliza-se uma metodologia de heteroscedasticidade condicional autorregressiva generalizada – Generalized AutoRegressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) – multivariado para avaliar os impactos diretos e cruzados na volatilidade do retorno setorial das ações. Além disso, estima-se a persistência destes impactos usando a metodologia de função de impulso-resposta para a volatilidade (VIRF no inglês) /covariância adotada em Hafner e Herwartz (2006) e em Le Pen e Sévi (2010). Os resultados sugerem que mudanças regulatórias abruptas e inesperadas podem produzir aumentos significativos e duradouros não só no risco de mercado do setor afetado, como também no risco de mercado de setores regulados correlatos. Em outras palavras, intervenções regulatórias pontuais podem contribuir para aumentar o risco regulatório de múltiplos setores. This paper examines how regulatory interventions can affect the market risk of electricity utilities and telecom carriers traded in the Brazilian stock market. Our article uses a bivariate Generalized AutoRegressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH - BEKK) model to analyze the impact of two relevant and unexpected measures taken by Brazilian regulatory authorities in 2012 on the market volatility of both sectors and their covariance. We also adopt the volatility impulse response function (VIRF) developed by Hafner e Herwartz (2006) to estimate their persistence. Results indicate that the effects of the telecommunications’ regulatory intervention are negligible, but the impact of the electricity’s regulatory measure is significant, long-lasting and contagious.
