Abstract

El presente documento analiza el impacto de las expectativas políticas sobre los retornos del índice general de la Bolsa de Valores de Lima (IGBVL) utilizando información para los periodos electorales de 1995 y 2000. La variable explicativa principal es una medida de la probabilidad de que un candidato gane las elecciones. Así, la hipótesis a veri?car es si el grado de incertidumbre sobre las el resultado de las elecciones presidenciales afecta los retornos del IGBVL. Se usan otras variables explicativas como el tipo de cambio, in?ación, términos de intercambio. Los resultados muestran que para el primer periodo de análisis (1995) la probabilidad de que el candidato Fujimori gane las elecciones tuvo un signo positivo sobre el rendimiento del IGBVL. Por el contrario, en el periodo 2000,el signo de dicha variable cambia de signo denotando el desgaste político de dicho candidato sumado a las evidencias de corrupción encontradas por aquellos momentos. Los resultados muestran también la importancia de otras variables macroeconómicas en las estimaciones.
