We study the herd behavior and the phase transition for the yen–dollar exchange rate in the Japanese financial market. It is obtained that the probability distribution of returns satisfies the power-law behavior P(R)≃R-β with scaling exponents β=3.11, 2.81, and 2.29 at time intervals...

We study the tick dynamical behavior of three assets in financial markets (the KOSPI, the won–dollar and yen–dollar exchange rates) using the rescaled range (R/S) analysis. The multifractal Hurst exponents with long-run memory effect can be obtained from those assets, and we discuss whether...
