Investor Sentiment, Returns, VAR, Mexico

Very short description for use in the program to help attendees understand more than a title can describe

In this study, we estimate vector autoregressive models (VAR) to determine whether investor sentiment and Mexican stock market returns are related in a dynamic setting. Due to the importance of the exchange rate, we also include this variable in the estimations. The results from VAR estimations suggest that rational and irrational investor sentiment have a positive impact on Mexican stock market returns. Conversely, the Mexican stock returns also have a positive impact on investor sentiment, suggesting that there is a dynamic feedback between both variables.
