This paper proposes a pragmatic, discrete time indicator to gauge the performance of portfolios over time. Integrating the shortage function (Luenberger, 1995) into a Luenberger portfolio productivity indicator (Chambers, 2002), this study estimates the changes in the relative positions of...

In recent years, a growing literature has claimed that the market microstructure is sufficient to generate the so-called stylized facts without any reference to the behaviour of market players. Indeed, qualitative stylized-facts can be generated with zero-intelligence traders (ZITs) but we...

Since the first multi-agents based market simulations in the nineties, many different artificial stock market models have been developped. There are mainly used to reproduce and understand real markets statistical properties such as fat tails, volatility clustering and positive auto-correlation...

Standard finance theory generally assumes homogeneous agents relatively to their preferences, heuristics and investment strategies. We propose to study, in an agent-based simulation, the emergence of equilibrium under various heterogeneous conditions. Market interaction is stylized with the...

This paper aims at studying the flash crash caused by an operational shock with different market participants. We reproduce this shock in artificial market framework to study market quality in different scenarios, with or without strategic traders. We show that traders’ srategies influence the...

L'usage croissant de la simulation multi-agents pour modéliser des systèmes pourvoyeurs de grandes quantités de données, suppose l'identification automatique des paramètres pertinents ou l'extraction de connaissances à partir des données réelles, faute de quoi la fiabilité des...
