We analyze a simple model of an asset market, in which a large rational trader interacts with ‘‘noise speculators’’ who seek short-run speculative gains, and become active following a prolonged episode of mispricing relative to the asset’s fundamental value. Themodel gives rise to price patterns such as bubble dynamics, positive short-run correlation and vanishing long-run correlation of price ...

In this paper we consider an insider with privileged information that is affected by an independent noise vanishing as the revelation time approaches. At this time, information is available to every trader. Our financial markets are based on Wiener space. In probabilistic terms we obtain an infinite dimensional extension of Jacod’s theorem to cover cases of progressive enlargement of filtration...

Background: Noise and noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) are the most prevalent workplace problems. The best way to prevent NIHL is to monitor people's annual noise exposure (ANE) using tools, such as questionnaires. The present study aims to assess reliability of the Persian version of the Noise Exposure Questionnaire (NEQ) and NIHL scores among workers. Materials & Methods: This descriptive s...

We consider a model in which a trader aims to maximize expected risk-adjusted profit while trading a single security. In our model, each price change is a linear combination of observed factors, impact resulting from the trader’s current and prior activity, and unpredictable random effects. The trader must learn coefficients of a price impact model while trading. We propose a new method for sim...

Classic asset pricing theory assumes prices will eventually adjust to and reflect the fair value, the route and speed of transition is not specified. Market Microstructure studies how prices adjust to reflect new information. Recent years have seen the widely available high frequency data enabled by the rapid advance in information technology. Using high frequency data, it’s interesting to stud...

This paper studies four trading algorithms of a professional trader, in a realistic two-sided limit order book whose dynamics are driven by the order book events. The identity of the trader can be either privileged or regular, either a hedge fund or a brokery agency. The speed and cost of trading can be balanced by properly choosing active strategies on the displayed orders in the book and pass...

Many researchers in the software agent field use the financial domain as a test bed to develop adaptation, cooperation and learning skills of software agents. However, there are no open source financial market simulation tools available, that are able to provide a suitable environment for agents with real information about assets and order execution service. In order to address such demand, thi...

The present work studies the behavior of a monopolistic informed trader in a two-period competitive dealer market. We show that the informed trader may engage in stock price manipulation as a result of the exploitation of his informational advantage (su±cient conditions are provided). The informed trader achieves this manipulation by not trading in the ̄rst period according to the information r...
