Abstract

Se estudiá la relación entre los efectos de la pandemia de COVID-19 y la volatilidad realizada. Además, se analizá el posible nexo entre las medidas de mitigación y contención adoptadas por los gobiernos y la volatilidad realizada. El período de estudio abarca del 2 de febrero de 2020 al 28 de agosto del mismo año. Este período a su vez se dividió en catorce muestras dos para cada mes, lo que dio origen a los catorce paneles no balanceados usados en las estimaciones. El método de estimación utilizado es Mínimos Cuadrados Ordinarios con efectos fijos de dos vías y el método de Mínimos Cuadrados Generalizados Estimados (EGLS) con efectos aleatorios de una vía (período). Se utilizaron datos de volatilidad realizada de sesenta y cinco de los principales índices bursátiles. Los resultados exhiben evidencia que apoya la existencia de una relación estadística significativa entre las medidas de contención y mitigación y la volatilidad realizada, principalmente en los meses de febrero y marzo, sin embargo, no se encontró uniformidad en los resultados. Por otro lado, no se encontró evidencia suficiente a favor de la existencia de una relación positiva entre los efectos de la pandemia COVID-19 y la volatilidad realizada.
