Do stylised facts of order book markets need strategic behaviour?

چکیده
This paper studies the role of strategy and the order book market mechanism in price dynamics and the order flow behaviour. To this end we analyse a zero-intelligence agent model of a dynamic limit order market. Stylised facts of limit order markets are shown to be influenced and, in some cases, governed by the market mechanism rather than strategic interaction. Positive correlation in order types, for instance, is the result of the market architecture, and price movements may be predicted in the short term from analysing the state of the order book. In contrast the absolute probabilities of order submission highlight the contribution of strategic behaviour.

Can a zero-intelligence plus model explain the stylized facts of financial time series data?
Many agent-based models of financial markets have been able to reproduce certain stylized facts that are observed in actual empirical time series data by using “zero-intelligence” agents whose behaviour is largely random in order to ascertain whether certain phenomena arise from market microstructure as opposed to strategic behaviour. Although these models have been highly successful, it is not...

متن کاملSimulación Realista de los Mercados Financieros con Sistemas Multi-Agentes
Financial markets are a paradigmatic case of complex adaptive systems. However, their complexity cannot be captured by traditional modelisation paradigms and we thus need to turn to new modelling tools. We present agentbased simulation as the suitable paradigm to analyse financial markets: this method allows to study the market macro behaviour on the basis of its microstructure, and some advanc...
متن کاملMinimal Agent Based Model for Financial Markets II: Statistical Properties of the Linear and Multiplicative Dynamics
We present a detailed study of the statistical properties of the Agent Based Model introduced in paper I [1] and of its generalization to the multiplicative dynamics. The aim of the model is to consider the minimal elements for the understanding of the origin of the Stylised Facts and their Self-Organization. The key elements are fundamentalist agents, chartist agents, herding dynamics and pric...
متن کاملHerd behaviour experimental testing in laboratory artificial stock market settings. Behavioural foundations of stylised facts of financial returns
Many scholars express concerns that herding behaviour causes excess volatility, destabilises financial markets, and increases the likelihood of systemic risk. We use a special formof the Strongly TypedGenetic Programming (STGP) technique to evolve a stockmarket divided into two groups—a small subset of artificial agents called ‘Best Agents’ and a main cohort of agents named ‘All Agents’. The ‘B...
