Dividend yield e persistência de retornos anormais das ações : evidência do mercado brasileiro

Analisamos, empiricamente, o comportamento dos preços das ações após o anúncio do pagamento de dividendos. Nossa amostra foi constituída de 163 eventos, incluindo as ações mais negociadas na Bolsa de Valores de São Paulo, no período de 1998 a 2000. Encontramos uma relação direta entre o dividend yield e o retomo anormal acumulado destas ações no período pós-pagamento de dividendos, dividindo a amostra em três subamostras, em função do dividend yield. Obtivemos um retomo anormal acumulado, nos 90 dias após o evento, de 21,97% para as empresas que pagaram dividendos mais altos, 5,16% para as companhias que pagaram dividendos intermediários, e -15,50% para as empresas que pagaram dividendos mais baixos. Isto demonstra a persistência dos retornos anormais das ações no período pós-evento. Esta relação foi confirmada quando analisamos os eventos por tipo de controlador da empresa (fundos, estatais ou fanu1ias) e as companhias privatizadas, e quando pesquisamos o retomo acumulado das ações em função do percentual do lucro líquido distribuído sob a forma de dividendos.

Emerging markets yield curve dynamics

This work extendes Diebold, Li and Yueís (2006) about global yield curve and proposes to extend the study by including emerging countries. The perception of emerging market su§ers ináuence of external factors or global factors, is the main argument of this work. We expect to obtain stylized facts.that obey similar pattern found by those authors. The results indicate the existence of global level and global slope factors. These factors represent an important fraction in the bond yield determination and show a decreasing trend of the global level factor low ináuence of global slope factor in these countries when they are compared with developed countries. Keywords: Kalman Filter, Emerging Markets, Yield Curve, and Bond.

Economic landscapes, what are they? an application to the Brazilian economy and to the sugar cane complex

In assessing the economic impact of a sector or group of sectors on a single or multiregional economy, input-output analysis has proven to be a popular method. . However, there has a problem in displaying all the information that can be obtained from this analytical approach. In this paper, we have tried to set new directions in the use of input-output analysis by presenting an improved way of looking at the economic landscapes. While this is not a new concept, a new meaning is explored in this paper; essentially, it will now be possible to visualize, in a simple picture, all the relations in the economy as well as being able to view how one sector is related to the other sectors/regions in the economy. These relations can be measured in terms of structural changes, production, value added, employment, imports, etc. While all the possibilities cannot be explored in this paper, the basic idea is given here and the smart reader can uncover all the various possibilities. To illustrate the power of analysis provided by the economic landscapes, an application is made to the sugar cane complex using an interregional inputoutput system for the Brazilian economy, constructed for 2 regions (Northeast and Rest of Brazil), for the years of 1985, 1992, and 1995.
