Using the Scaling Analysis to Characterize Financial Markets
نویسندگان
چکیده
The scaling properties encompass in a simple analysis many of the volatility characteristics of financial markets. That is why we use them to probe the different degree of markets development. We empirically study the scaling properties of daily Foreign Exchange rates, Stock Market indices and fixed income instruments by using the generalized Hurst approach. The robustness of the results is tested by both Monte-Carlo studies and a computation of the scaling in the frequency-domain. We show that the scaling exponents are associated with characteristics of the specific markets and can be used to differentiate markets in their stage of development.

متن کاملBOSTON UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES Dissertation STATISTICAL PHYSICS APPROACHES TO FINANCIAL FLUCTUATIONS
Complex systems attract many researchers from various scientific fields. Financial markets are one of these widely studied complex systems. Statistical physics, which was originally developed to study large systems, provides novel ideas and powerful methods to analyze financial markets. The study of financial fluctuations characterizes market behavior, and helps to better understand the underly...
متن کاملDiffusion entropy analysis on the scaling behavior of financial markets
In this paper the diffusion entropy technique is applied to investigate the scaling behavior of financial markets. The scaling behaviors of four representative stock markets, Dow Jones Industrial Average, Standard&Poor 500, Heng Seng Index, and Shang Hai Stock Synthetic Index, are almost the same; with the scale-invariance exponents all in the interval 1⁄20:92; 0:95 . We also estimate the local...
متن کاملScaling and Multi-scaling in Financial Markets
This paper reviews some of the phenomenological models which have been introduced to incorporate the scaling properties of financial data. It also illustrates a microscopic model, based on heterogeneous interacting agents, which provides a possible explanation for the complex dynamics of markets’ returns. Scaling and multi-scaling analysis performed on the simulated data is in good quantitative...

It is very important for managers, investors and financial policy-makers to detect and analyze factors affecting financial markets to obtain optimal decision and reduce risks. The importance of market analysis and attempt to improve its behavior understanding, has led analysts to use the experiences of other professionals in the fields such as social sciences and mathematics to examine the inte...
