An interacting-agent model of financial markets from the viewpoint of nonextensive statistical mechanics
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we present an interacting-agent model of stock markets. We describe a stock market through an Ising-like model in order to formulate the tendency of traders getting to be influenced by the other traders’ investment attitudes [1], and formulate the traders’ decision-making regarding investment as the maximum entropy principle for nonextensive entropy. We demonstrate that the equilibrium probability distribution function of the traders’ investment attitude is the q-exponential distribution. We also show that the power-law distribution of the volatility of price fluctuations, which is often demonstrated in empirical studies, can be explained naturally by our model which is based on the collective crowd behavior of many interacting agents.

Long-range memory stochastic model of the return in financial markets
We present a nonlinear stochastic differential equation (SDE) which mimics the probability density function (PDF) of the return and the power spectrum of the absolute return in financial markets. Absolute return as a measure of market volatility is considered in the proposed model as a long-range memory stochastic variable. The SDE is obtained from the analogy with earlier proposed model of tra...
متن کاملDynamical model and nonextensive statistical mechanics of a market index on large time windows.
The shape and tails of partial distribution functions (PDF) for a financial signal, i.e., the S&P500 and the turbulent nature of the markets are linked through a model encompassing Tsallis nonextensive statistics and leading to evolution equations of the Langevin and Fokker-Planck type. A model originally proposed to describe the intermittent behavior of turbulent flows describes the behavior o...

متن کاملNonextensive scalar field theories and dark energy models
Current astronomical measurements indicate that approximately 73% of the universe is made up of dark energy. Stochastically quantized self-interacting scalar fields can serve as suitable models to generate dark energy. We study a particular model where the scalar field theory underlying dark energy exhibits strongest possible chaotic behaviour. It is shown that the fluctuating chaotic field mom...
متن کاملNonextensive statistical mechanics: a brief review of its present status
We briefly review the present status of nonextensive statistical mechanics. We focus on (i) the central equations of the formalism, (ii) the most recent applications in physics and other sciences, (iii) the a priori determination (from microscopic dynamics) of the entropic index q for two important classes of physical systems, namely low-dimensional maps (both dissipative and conservative) and ...
