Modeling the stock market prior to large crashes
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose that the minimal requirements for a model of stock market price fluctuations should comprise time asymmetry, robustness with respect to connectivity between agents, “bounded rationality” and a probabilistic description. We also compare extensively two previously proposed models of log-periodic behavior of the stock market index prior to a large crash. We find that the model which follows the above requirements outperforms the other with a high statistical significance.

Large financial crashes
We propose that large stock market crashes are analogous to critical points studied in statistical physics with log-periodic correction to scaling. We extend our previous renormalization group model of stock market prices prior to and after crashes [D. Sornette et al., J.Phys.I France 6, 167, 1996] by including the first non-linear correction. This predicts the existence of a log-frequency shif...

متن کاملSpeculative Bubbles and Crashes in Stock Markets: An Interacting-Agent Model of Speculative Activity
In this paper we present an interacting-agent model of speculative activity explaining bubbles and crashes in stock markets. We describe stock markets through an infinite-range Ising model to formulate the tendency of traders getting influenced by the investment attitude of other traders. Bubbles and crashes are understood and described qualitatively and quantitatively in terms of the classical...
متن کاملModeling Stock Market Volatility Using Univariate GARCH Models: Evidence from Bangladesh
This paper investigates the nature of volatility characteristics of stock returns in the Bangladesh stock markets employing daily all share price index return data of Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) and Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE) from 02 January 1993 to 27 January 2013 and 01 January 2004 to 20 August 2015 respectively. Furthermore, the study explores the adequate volatility model for the stoc...

Stock market plays an important role in the world economy. Stock market customers are interested in predicting the stock market general index price, since their income depends on this financial factor; Therefore, a reliable forecast in stock market can be extremely profitable for stockholders. Stock market prediction for financial markets has been one of the main challenges in forecasting finan...
