Modelos dinâmicos e simulação estocástica

This paper presents new methodology for making Bayesian inference about dy~ o!s for exponential famiIy observations. The approach is simulation-based _~t> use of ~vlarkov chain Monte Carlo techniques. A yletropolis-Hastings i:U~UnLlllll 1::; combined with the Gibbs sampler in repeated use of an adjusted version of normal dynamic linear models. Different alternative schemes are derived and compared. The approach is fully Bayesian in obtaining posterior samples for state parameters and unknown hyperparameters. Illustrations to real data sets with sparse counts and missing values are presented. Extensions to accommodate for general distributions for observations and disturbances. intervention. non-linear models and rnultivariate time series are outlined.

Testes empíricos da eficiência do mercado acionário brasileiro

Este trabalho tem por objetivo avaliar a eficiência do mercado acionário brasileiro a partir de testes estatísticos, para posterior modelagem das séries de retorno das ações, utilizando os modelos ARMA, ARCH, GARCH, Modelo de Decomposição e, por final, VAR. Para este trabalho foram coletados dados intradiários, que são considerados dados de alta freqüência e menos suscetíveis a possíveis alterações na estrutura de mercado, tanto micro como macroeconômicos. Optou-se por trabalhar com dados coletados a cada cinco minutos, devido à baixa liquidez dos ativos no mercado financeiro (que poderia acarretar em dados ausentes para intervalos de tempo inferiores). As séries escolhidas foram: Petrobrás PN, Gerdau PN, Bradesco PN, Vale do Rio Doce PN e o índice Ibovespa, que apresentam grande representatividade do mercado acionário brasileiro para o período analisado. Com base no teste de Dickey-Fuller, verificou-se indícios que o mercado acionário brasileiro possa ser eficiente e, assim foi proposto modelos para as séries de retorno das ações anteriormente citadas.

Using irregularly spaced returns to estimate multi-factor models: application to Brazilian equity data

Multi-factor models constitute a useful tool to explain cross-sectional covariance in equities returns. We propose in this paper the use of irregularly spaced returns in the multi-factor model estimation and provide an empirical example with the 389 most liquid equities in the Brazilian Market. The market index shows itself significant to explain equity returns while the US$/Brazilian Real exchange rate and the Brazilian standard interest rate does not. This example shows the usefulness of the estimation method in further using the model to fill in missing values and to provide interval forecasts.
