Abstract

La volatilité des actions françaises montre une forte instabilité depuis 150 ans. Très faible avant la Première Guerre mondiale, elle augmente de façon continue durant l’entre-deux-guerres. Malgré la paix et la stabilité économique, la volatilité n’a jamais retrouvé ses niveaux d’avant 1914. Le niveau de la volatilité des actions semble lié à l’instabilité monétaire et à l’ampleur du déficit public.

French stock market volatility observed over the last 150 years presents a huge instability. From a very low level before the First World War, it shows a continuous increase during the inter-war period. Despite peace and economic stability, volatility has never converged to levels seen pre-1914. The level of stock market volatility seems to be linked to the monetary instability and the magnitude of public deficits.
