Abstract
Se estudian las pérdidas de PBI a través de países originadas por crisis financieras. Las pérdidas se analizan en términos de frecuencia (número de eventos de pérdida) y severidad (monto de pérdida por cada evento). Se utiliza el enfoque de densidad total de las pérdidas (enfoque LDA por sus siglas en inglés) para estimar la función de densidad de probabilidad de las pérdidas agregadas para un número grande de países así como los percentiles asociados a eventos extremos de pérdidas de PBI atadas a crisis financieras. Se encuentra que las pérdidas de producto asociadas a crisis financieras son heterogéneas y que las crisis cambiarias llevan a menores pérdidas de producto que las crisis de deuda y las crisis bancarias. Episodios de crisis financieras extremas a nivel mundial, aquellos que ocurren con una probabilidad menor a uno por ciento cada cinco años, llevan a pérdidas de producto mundiales entre 2.95% y 4.54%.
We study cross-country GDP losses due to financial crises in terms of frequency (number of loss events per period) and severity (loss per occurrence). We perform the Loss Distribution Approach (LDA) to estimate a multi-country aggregate GDP loss probability density function and the percentiles associated to extreme events due to financial crises. We find that output losses arising from financial crises are strongly heterogeneous and that currency crises lead to smaller output losses than debt and banking crises. Extreme global financial crises episodes, occurring with a one percent probability every five years, lead to losses between 2.95% and 4.54% of world GDP.
