Abstract

O texto analisa de forma comparativa o impacto das duas mais importantes crises financeiras contemporâneas, a do Japão e a dos Estados Unidos. Ambas foram consequência do estouro de bolhas especulativas que haviam permitido a elevada valorização de ativos imobiliários e de ações. A abrupta reversão dos mercados levou a acumulação de prejuízos elevados não só pelos bancos mas também pelas empresas não financeiras e as famílias. Como resposta, o setor privado vem reduzindo sistematicamente seu endividamento líquido e o nível de investimento, apesar da retomada dos lucros e da manutenção das taxas de juros em níveis próximos a zero por períodos muito prolongados. This paper analyzes on a comparative basis the impact of the two major contemporary financial crises in Japan and in the United States. They were both the result of the burst of speculative bubbles that had allowed the high increase in the value of real estate and equity . The abrupt reversal of the financial markets led to the accumulation of huge losses not only by banks but also by non - financial corporations and households. In response, the private sector has been since then been systematically reducing its net debt and the level of investment , despite the recovery on the levels of profits and the long periods of interest rates at levels close to zero
