Contágio financeiro e interdependência: análise aos mercados na crise financeira global e na pandemia de COVID-19

Abstract

With the increasing financial integration at a global level, the question arises regarding the effectiveness of geographical diversification in mitigating risks. This study examines financial contagion and interdependence among the ten largest world markets (in terms of gross domestic product) during the periods from January 2005 to December 2023, focusing on the global financial crisis and the crisis caused by COVID-19. Using the United States of America as the source country of the contagion, we applied correlation coefficients adjusted through the methodology of Forbes and Rigobon (2002) and analyzed the occurrence of contagion during those periods. The results indicate that during the global financial crisis, there was a significant increase in correlations between the markets, although, after adjustment, only Germany, France, and Canada exhibited contagion. In the COVID-19 period, six countries (Germany, India, United Kingdom, Russia, Canada, and Italy) showed contagion in both adjusted and unadjusted coefficients. The absence of contagion in countries such as China and Japan reflects economic and political particularities that partially isolate them from external shocks. On the other hand, the strong commercial and financial ties of countries like Canada and Germany with the United States of America explain their greater susceptibility to contagion. The data obtained suggest that despite the increase in global interdependence, geographical diversification remains an important strategy for mitigating risks, especially in periods of higher volatility. This study contributes to the understanding of contagion propagation and financial interdependence, providing valuable insights for themes such as global portfolio risk management and the formulation of diversification strategies.

Com a crescente integração financeira a nível global, surge a questão da eficácia da diversificação geográfica na mitigação de riscos. Este trabalho estuda o contágio financeiro e a interdependência entre os dez maiores mercados mundiais (em termos do produto interno bruto), durante os períodos de janeiro de 2005 a dezembro de 2023, com foco na crise financeira global e na crise provocada pela COVID-19. Utilizando os Estados Unidos da América como país fonte do contágio, aplicamos coeficientes de correlação ajustados através da metodologia de Forbes e Rigobon (2002) e analisamos a existência de contágio nos períodos em causa. Os resultados indicam que, durante a crise financeira global, houve um aumento significativo das correlações entre os mercados, embora, após o ajuste, apenas a Alemanha, França e Canadá apresentaram contágio. No período da COVID-19, seis países (Alemanha, Índia, Reino Unido, Rússia, Canadá e Itália) apresentaram contágio tanto nos coeficientes ajustados quanto nos não ajustados. A ausência de contágio em países como a China e o Japão reflete particularidades económicas e políticas que os isolam parcialmente dos choques externos. Em contrapartida, a forte ligação comercial e financeira de países como o Canadá e a Alemanha com os Estados Unidos da América explicam a maior suscetibilidade ao contágio. Os dados obtidos sugerem que, apesar do aumento da interdependência global, a diversificação geográfica continua a ser uma estratégia importante para mitigar riscos, especialmente em períodos de maior volatilidade. Este estudo contribui para a compreensão da propagação do contágio e interdependência financeira, fornecendo contributos valiosos para temáticas como a gestão de riscos em portfólios globais e para a formulação de estratégias de diversificação.
