Each sector performs differently during market crises. Financial stocks crashed hardest in 2008; tech crashed hardest in 2000. Sector multipliers capture these historical patterns.
Formula
Final Impact = Market Impact × β × Sector MultiplierMethodology
Sector multipliers capture the differential performance of industry sectors during specific market events.
Examples from historical scenarios:
2008 Financial Crisis: - Financials: 1.5× (banks at epicenter) - Healthcare: 0.6× (defensive) - Consumer Defensive: 0.7× (essential goods)
Dot-Com Crash (2000): - Technology: 2.0× (bubble center) - Healthcare: 0.6× (defensive) - Energy: 0.7× (unrelated sector)
COVID Crash (2020): - Energy: 1.8× (oil price collapse) - Consumer Cyclical: 1.5× (travel, retail) - Technology: 0.7× (benefited from work-from-home)
A multiplier >1 means the sector performed worse than the market; <1 means it held up better.
