Heterogeneous Fundamentalists and Imitative Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
Developing a model with a switching mechanism, we show how complex dynamics can be generated even though heterogeneity arises among agents with the same trading rules (fundamentalists). We assume that there are two experts which are imitated by other operators. We show that (i) market instability and periodic, or even, chaotic price fluctuations can be generated; (ii) conditions exist under which an expert can drive another expert out of the market; (iii) two experts can survive when the dynamic system either generates a period doubling bifurcation around an attractor or when an homoclinic bifurcation leads to the merging of the two attractors (i.e. Dieci et al., 2001); (iv) a central role is played by the reaction to misalignment of both market makers and agents.

On the Role of Memory in an Asset Pricing Model with Heterogeneous Beliefs
The paper discusses the role of memory in an asset pricing model with heterogeneous beliefs. In particular, we were interested in how memory in the fitness measure affects the stability of evolutionary adaptive systems and the survival of technical trading. In order to obtain an insight into this matter, two cases were analyzed: a two-type case of fundamentalists versus contrarians and a three-...
متن کاملA model of financial market dynamics with heterogeneous beliefs and state-dependent confidence
In a simple model of financial market dynamics, we allow the price of a risky security to be set by a market maker depending on the excess demand of heterogeneous interacting traders, fundamentalists and chartists, who place their orders based upon different expectations schemes about future prices: while chartists rely on standard trend-based rules, fundamentalists are assumed to know the econ...
متن کاملStrategic asset allocation with heterogeneous beliefs
We study how the presence of long term investors using di¤erent return forecasting strategies and switching them based on their past performance generates the price trends observed in nancial markets. In the empirical section, we assume that investors choose how to allocate their portfolios among four major stock indices: Dow Jones, FTSE, Nikkei and Hang Seng. The exercise shows that a decreas...
متن کاملAgent-Based Approach to Investors' Behavior and Asset Price Fluctuation in Financial Markets
In this paper, we use Agent-Based Approach to analyze how asset prices are affected by investors and investment systems that are based on Behavioral Finance. We build a virtual financial market that contains two types of investors: fundamentalists and non-fundamentalists. As a result of intensive experiments in the market, we find that (1) the traded price agrees with the fundamental value and ...
متن کاملAn heterogeneous expectations target zone model * ́
This paper studies the credibility of a target zone considering the existence of heterogeneous expectations in the foreign exchange market. In general, we consider two types of agents: credible and non-credible agents (i.e. fundamentalists). One of the main results of the model is the possibility of collapse of a target zone as a function of expectations. This implies the existence of an endoge...
