What is it about?

We analyse which assets are so-called "safe-haven" for investors in Venezuela during the crisis. The results based on daily data from 01.05.2014-31.07.2018 show that that gold is a better safe-haven than oil for Venezuelan investors, while Bitcoin can be considered a weak safe-haven. This provides hints for investors acting in difficult economic conditions. The results show potential application of bitcoin as a store of value or even means of payments in in Venezuelan (or in other countries affected by the crisis).
