Applications of Chaos and Fractal Theory on Emerging Capital Markets

چکیده
The analysis of capital markets efficiency has attracted a considerable number of studies in empirical finance, but conflicting and inconclusive outcomes have been generated. The aim of this paper is to find any evidence that the selected emergent capital markets (eight emergent European and BRIC markets, namely Hungary, Romania, Estonia, Czech Republic, Brazil, Russia, India and China) abide by a particular evolution pattern (long range dependence) or the random walk hypothesis. In view of attaining the goal of the paper, we employed a methodology based on the interdisciplinary approach to the subject matter under investigation and applied the deterministic chaos and fractal theory. In this paper, the Hurst exponent calculated by the rescaled-range analysis is our measure of long range dependence in the series. We use a “rolling sample” approach to evaluate the Hurst exponent. The results suggest that this fractal exponent may be useful in assessing the stage of stock market inefficiency.

Improving security of double random phase encoding with chaos theory using fractal images
This study presents a new method based on the combination of cryptography and information hiding methods. Firstly, the image is encoded by the Double Random Phase Encoding (DRPE) technique. The real and imaginary parts of the encoded image are subsequently embedded into an enlarged normalized host image. DRPE demands two random phase mask keys to decode the decrypted image at the destination. T...
متن کاملComplexity, Risk, and Financial Markets by Edgar E. Petters
Complexity, Risk, and Financial Markets completes a trilogy of books on chaos and fractal analysis. Fractal analysis examines self-similarity or scale invariance, a structure that is often present in seemingly random and otherwise complex processes. Time series, for example, exhibit self-similarity if subsamples resemble compressed versions of longer samples. Pioneered by engineers, mathematici...
متن کاملChaotic Analysis and Prediction of River Flows
Analyses and investigations on river flow behavior are major issues in design, operation and studies related to water engineering. Thus, recently the application of chaos theory and new techniques, such as chaos theory, has been considered in hydrology and water resources due to relevant innovations and ability. This paper compares the performance of chaos theory with Anfis model and discusses ...
متن کاملDeterminants of Bonanza Episodes and Related Effects on Financial Crises in Emerging Market Countries
Although capital inflows affect positively economies in long-run, it is possible to generate somehow destructive effects if there is no any control on financial markets. This study tries to explore main determinants of large capital inflows episodes to emerging markets. It is also investigated whether the large capital inflows episodes lead to financial crises in forms of sudden stop phenomenon...
