This paper studies a financial market populated by adaptive traders. Learning is modeled following <link rid="b13">Camerer and Ho (1999)</link>. A call market and a Walrasian tatonnement are compared in an environment in which both institutions have the same Nash and competitive equilibrium outcomes. When traders...

This paper compares experimentally the price formation on a Walrasian Tatonnement and on a Call Market in a common value environment with insiders and gains from trade inspired by Plott and Sunder (1982). A game-theoretical analysis shows that these two institutions are strategically equivalent....

We measure the degree of overconfidence in judgment (in the form of miscalibration, i.e., the tendency to overestimate the precision of one's information) and self-monitoring (a form of attentiveness to social cues) of 245 participants and also observe their behaviour in an experimental...

This article explores the dynamics of the dependence between 'A' and 'B' share indices on the Shanghai and Shenzhen securities exchanges. While the marginal behaviour of each stock index is modelled by an asymmetric Student-t distribution, the nature of the dependence is captured through a...

Assuming that the variance of daily price changes and trading volume are both driven by the same latent variable measuring the number of price-relevant information arriving on the market, the mixture of distribution hypothesis represents an intuitive and appealing explanation for the empirically...

Outliers can lead to model misspecifications, poor forecasts and invalid inferences. Their identification and correction is therefore an important objective of financial modeling. This paper introduces a simple method to detect outliers in a financial series. It uses an AR(1)-GARCH(1,1) model to...
