The research results which are presented in this paper aimed to verify the theory which claims that there is a significant relationship between financial market integration on international scale, financial development and economic growth. Our research focused not on the entire financial market but on the segment of equity securities (shares and investment certificates) and debt securities (cor...

This paper focuses on a nonlinear stochastic model for financial simulation and forecasting based on assumptions of multivariate stochastic correlation, with an application to the European market. We present in particular the key elements of a structured hierarchical econometric model that can be used to forecast financial and commodity markets relying on statistical and simulation methods. The...

We apply methods of quantum mechanics for mathematical modeling of price dynamics at the financial market. We propose to describe behavioral financial factors (e.g., expectations of traders) by using the pilot wave (Bohmian) model of quantum mechanics. Trajectories of prices are determined by two financial potentials: classical-like V (q) (”hard” market conditions, e.g., natural resources) and ...

BACKGROUND Because the movement of stock prices is not only ubiquitous in financial markets but also crucial for investors, extensive studies have been done to understand the law behind it. In particular, since the financial crisis in 2008, researchers have a more interest in investigating large market volatilities in order to grasp changing market trends. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In th...

For many, derivatives are often associated with infamous financial events and scandals resulting from highly leveraged and speculative use of derivative financial instruments. The most common use of these instruments is, however, in the often quiet area of risk management rather than the charged atmosphere of high stakes betting. At the most basic level, a derivative is simply a financial instr...

This paper proposes methods for estimation and inference in multivariate, multi-quantile models. The theory can simultaneously accommodate models with multiple random variables, multiple confidence levels, and multiple lags of the associated quantiles. The proposed framework can be conveniently thought of as a vector autoregressive (VAR) extension to quantile models. We estimate a simple versio...
