Mercado accionista, riqueza e consumo

Abstract

As recentes flutuações dos mercados financeiros, em particular, dos mercados accionistas, fizeram renascer o interesse pelo papel que estes desempenham na dinâmica da actividade económica real, em particular, do consumo. Nesta dissertação, é revisto o conceito de riqueza e a literatura sobre as teorias explicativas do comportamento do consumo e seus desenvolvimentos recentes mais relevantes. É feita ainda referência ao fenómeno dos booms do consumo privado, identificando os seus determinantes mais comuns. A relação entre o mercado de acções e a actividade económica real, em particular, o consumo privado, é revisitada, sendo realçada a posição que vê aquele mercado como um indicador de avanço da actividade e a tese que o considera um seu determinante, por via da geração de efeitos riqueza. Utilizando dados amostrais relativos à economia norte-americana para o período 1953:Q1 – 2000:Q4, estimaram-se várias relações de longo-prazo que sugerem uma propensão marginal a consumir a riqueza líquida na forma de acções de cerca de 0.037, em linha com os resultados obtidos em investigações empíricas anteriores. O presente trabalho mostra que os efeitos riqueza associados à propriedade directa de acções são cerca de 3.5 vezes superiores aos da propriedade indirecta. Por seu turno, a dinâmica de curto-prazo é analisada com o recurso à estimação de uma equação individual, sugerindo que o consumo responde contemporaneamente às variações do rendimento e da riqueza. Contrariamente aos trabalhos de Ludvigson e Steindel (1999) e Desnoyers (2001), verifica-se que o ajustamento à componente de longo-prazo é muito lento, o que constitui um indicativo de que os consumidores alteram a sua despesa de forma gradual, possivelmente, devido à existência de hábitos formados.

The recent financial markets fluctuations, in particular, stock markets fluctuations, have revived the interest concerning the role taken by these markets upon real economic activity dynamics, specially, consumption dynamics. In this dissertation, the wealth concept and the literature on the explanatory theories of the consumption behavior and their most relevant recent developments are reviewed. It is still made reference to private consumption booms, identifying their most common determinants. The relationship between stock market and real economic activity, namely, private consumption, is revisited, being enhanced the position that sees that market as a progress indicator of activity and the thesis that considers it as a determinant of this, through the generation of wealth effects. Using quarterly data for the U.S.A. economy for the period 1953:Q1 - 2000:Q4, several steady-state relationships were estimated, suggesting a marginal propensity to consume stock market wealth of about 0.037, following the results obtained in previous empirical investigations. This work shows that the wealth effects associated to direct property of stocks is 3.5 times superior to those associated to indirect property. The short-period dynamics is analyzed with the estimation of an individual equation, showing that consumption contemporaneously reacts to income and wealth changes. Contrary to Ludvigson and Steindel (1999) and Desnoyers (2001), it is suggested that the adjustment to long-period component is very slow, which constitutes an indicator that consumers change their expenses gradually, probably due to existence of habit formation.
