Financial Information Grid –an ESRC e-Social Science Pilot
نویسندگان
چکیده
The large volume of time-varying quantitative and qualitative data available online is needed in a realistic simulation in theoretical econometrics from an academic perspective. And the analysis of such data is strategically important for trading in the financial markets. A distributed environment has been created that offers two services – time-serial and news analysis – using Globus and Java Commodity Grids. A demonstrator that can be used for bootstrapping and for detecting financial market ‘sentiment’ in real time is reported in this paper.

A Semantic Grid Service for Experimentation with an Agent-Based Model of Land-Use Change
Agent-based models, perhaps more than other models, feature large numbers of parameters and potentially generate vast quantities of results data. This paper shows through the FEARLUS-G project (an ESRC e-Social Science Initiative Pilot Demonstrator Project) how deploying an agent-based model on the Semantic Grid facilitates international collaboration on investigations using such a model, and c...
متن کاملTransaction Costs and Informational Cascades in Financial Markets: Theory and Experimental Evidence
We study the effect of transaction costs (e.g., a trading fee or a transaction tax, like the Tobin tax) on the aggregation of private information in financial markets. We analyze a financial market à la Glosten and Milgrom, in which informed and uninformed traders trade in sequence with a market maker. Traders have to pay a cost in order to trade. We show that, eventually, all informed traders ...
