Resumo: This study employs a four-variable vector autoregressive (VAR) model to investigate the relationship of stock returns, inflation, interest rates and real economic activity. The sample consists of four Latin American countries from January of 1995 to December of 2005. Our results indicate heterogeneous patterns for the relationship of financial and economic variables across countries. We also show that monetary policy shocks seem to affect Latin American stock markets. That evidence is rather weak, though. On the other hand, there is no significant relationship between stock markets and real activity and inflation.

A primeira conclusão é que os resultados de todos os países não são bastante parecidos. Finalmente, conclui-se que choques de política monetária parecem ser relevantes para os mercados acionários na América Latina. Contudo essa evidência é frágil. Por outro lado, existe uma baixa sensibilidade dos retornos acionários frente às variáveis de atividade econômica e inflação.FUCAPE Business Shool2008-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed ArticleArtigo revisado pelos paresapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://www.bbronline.com.br/index.php/bbr/article/view/45110.15728/bbr.2008.5.1.4Brazilian Business Review; Vol. 5 No. 1 (2008): January to April 2008; 49-68Brazilian Business Review; v. 5 n. 1 (2008): Janeiro a Abril de 2008; 49-681808-23861807-734Xreponame:BBR.
