Financial price fluctuations in a stock market model with many interacting agents

Horst, Ulrich - 2001

We consider a financial market model with a large number of interacting agents. Investors are heterogeneous in their expectations about the future evolution of an asset price process. Their current expectation is based on the previous states of their "neighbors" and on a random signal about the...

Ergodic fluctuations in a stock market model with interacting agents : the mean field case

Horst, Ulrich - 1999

We consider a financial market model with interacting agents and study the long run behaviour of both aggregate behaviour and equilibrium prices. Investors are heterogeneous in their price expectations and they get stochastic signals about the "mood" of the market described by the empirical...

Weekday dependence of German stock market returns

Herwartz, Helmut - 1999

The so-called 'Monday effect ' has been found for various stock markets of the world. The empirical finding that Monday returns are significantly smaller than returns measured for the remaining days of the week calls the efficiency hypothesis for pricing processes operating on stock markets into...

Semiparametric bootstrap approach to hypothesis tests and confidence intervals for the hurst coefficient

Hall, Peter; Härdle, Wolfgang; Kleinow, Torsten; … - 1999

A major application of rescaled adjusted range analysis (RS analysis) is the study of price fluctuations in financial markets. There, the value of the Hurst constant, H, in a time series may be interpreted as an indicator of the irregularity of the price of a commodity, currency or similar...

Semiparametric diffusion estimation and application to a stock market index

Härdle, Wolfgang; Kleinow, Torsten; Korostelev, … - 2001

The analysis of diffusion processes in financial models is crucially dependent on the form of the drift and diffusion coefficient functions. A methodology is proposed for estimating and testing coefficient functions for ergodic diffusions that are not directly observable. It is based on...

Flexible stochastic volatility structures for high frequency financial data

Feldmann, David; Härdle, Wolfgang; Hafner, Christian M.; … - 1998

Stochastic Volatility (SV) models are widely used in financial applications. To decide whether standard parametric …

Modeling the interdependence of volatility and inter-transaction duration processes

Grammig, Joachim; Wellner, Marc - 1999

simultaneous estimation of the interdependent duration-volatility model. In an empirical application we utilize the model for an … indirect test of the hypothesis that volatility is caused by private information that affects prices when informed investors … trade. The result that volatility shocks significantly increase expected inter-transaction durations supports this …

Risk premia and financial modelling without measure transformation

Platen, Eckhard - 2000

This paper describes a financial market modelling framework that exploits the notion of a deflator . The denominations of the deflator measured in units of primary assets form a minimal set of basic financial quantities that completely specify the overall market dynamics, where deflated asset...

Externalities in the matching of workers and firms in Britain

Burgess, Simon M.; Profit, Stefan - 1998

We provide empirical evidence on the nature of spatial externalities in a matching model for the UK. We use a monthly panel of outflows, unemployment and vacancy stocks data from the registers at Jobcentres in the UK; these are mapped on to travel-to-work areas. We find evidence of significant...
