Nonlinearities and Cyclical Behavior: The Role of Chartists and Fundamentalists
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop a behavioral exchange rate model with chartists and fundamentalists to study cyclical behavior in foreign exchange markets. Within our model, the market impact of fundamentalists depends on the strength of their belief in fundamental analysis. Estimation of a STAR GARCH model shows that the more the exchange rate deviates from its fundamental value, the more fundamentalists leave the market. In contrast to previous findings, our paper indicates that due to the nonlinear presence of fundamentalists, market stability decreases with increasing misalignments. A stabilization policy such as central bank interventions may help to deflate bubbles. JEL Classification: F31, C51

Modeling price fluctuations in financial markets is very important. We try to model price fluctuations in Tehran stock exchange using heterogeneous agents’ model. We used agent-based computational approach. In this model, there are two kinds of agents, some agents have extrapolating expectations (chartists) and others have stabilizing or mean-reverting expectations (fundamentalists)...
متن کاملEffects of contrarian Investor Type in Asset Price Dynamics
We develop an asset pricing model based on the interaction of heterogeneous trading groups. In addition to the two main trader groups, fundamentalists and trend-chasing chartists, we include a third significant group known as contrarian chartists. We model the case of opportunistic contrarian behavior, where the contrarian group disagrees with the trend-chasing chartists only when the return di...
متن کاملAn analysis of the effect of noise in a heterogeneous agent financial market model
Heterogeneous agent models (HAMs) in finance and economics are often characterised by high dimensional nonlinear stochastic differential or difference systems. Because of the complexity of the interaction between the nonlinearities and noise, a commonly used, often called indirect, approach to the study of HAMs combines theoretical analysis of the underlying deterministic skeleton with numerica...
متن کاملAsset Pricing Model with Heterogeneous Investment Horizons∗
In this paper we study the dynamics of a simple asset pricing model describing the trading activity of heterogeneous agents in a ”stylized” market. The economy in the model contains two assets: a bond with risk-less return and a dividend paying stock. The price of the stock is determined through market clearing condition. Traders are speculators described as expected utility maximizers with het...
متن کاملComment on “Stabilizing an Unstable Economy: On the Choice of Proper Policy Measures”
In this paper the authors develop and investigate the dynamic behavior of a non-linear macro-dynamic model. In particular, the authors take the ongoing financial crisis as the motivation to study stabilization policy options, since the current financial crisis has underscored once again the importance of the financial sector in the business cycle. The theoretical framework is a Keynesian busine...
