RESUMEN

La inversión sectorial ha experimentado un crecimiento significativo durante los últimos años en los mercados bursátiles internacionales y, en particular, en el mercado español. Por ello, la estimación precisa del coeficiente de riesgo beta constituye una actuación relevante de los gestores de carteras de inversión sectoriales para llevar a cabo decisiones de inversión más eficientes. En este contexto, el presente trabajo analiza la dinámica del riesgo sistemático referente a las carteras de inversión sectoriales del mercado de valores español. Sobre la base de la evidencia empírica previa, se proponen diferentes variantes del modelo de mercado en su especificación espacio-estado que permiten contrastar diversas hipótesis acerca del proceso estocástico dinámico experimentado por las series analizadas. Dado que trabajamos con datos de mercado diarios, se permite que los errores de las ecuaciones de observación, presentes en los modelos mencionados, sean de carácter condicionalmente heterocedásticos, aspecto escasamente explorado en la literatura. Finalmente, se propone un estudio comparativo del comportamiento predictivo de los modelos estimados, lo que constituye una novedad en la investigación para el mercado bursátil español.

ABSTRACT

Sector investment has grown significantly in international stock markets an also in the Spanish one, during the last few years. Among other issues, sector portfolio managers need to estimate accurately the beta of their portfolios in order to carry out more efficient investment strategies. Against this background, this paper analyses the dynamic behaviour of sector portfolio's betas in the Spanish market. Due to previous findings in this market, we propose some extensions of the market model in a state-space specification that will allow us to test several hypotheses about the stochastic dynamic process followed by the sector portfolio's betas. Given that we use daily market data, the state-space market model observation equation's disturbances are assumed to be conditional heteroskedastic, an aspect that has been scarce considered in the previous literature. Finally, we propose a comparative study about the predictive behaviour of the estimated models, an issue that it is still missing in this market.
