Analysis of a Heterogeneous Trader Model for Asset Price Dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examine an asset pricing model of Westerhoff 2005 . The model incorporates heterogeneous beliefs among traders, specifically fundamentalists and trend-chasing chartists. The form of the model is shown here to be a nonlinear planar map. Since it contains a single parameter, the model may be considered the simplest effective model yet derived for financial asset pricing with heterogeneous trading. Analysis of the map yields results for stability and bifurcations of fixed points and periodic orbits. The model has intricate attractor basin behavior and global bifurcations to chaos: symmetric homoclinic bifurcation and boundary crisis.

Intermittent chaos in a model of financial markets with heterogeneous agents
In this paper we study the price dynamics in a simple model of financial markets with heterogeneous agents. We concentrate on how increases in the total number of active traders influences fluctuations of asset prices. We find that a curious route to chaos is observed when the total number of [active traders] increases. Particularly, we show that intermittent chaos [1] of price fluctuations is ...
متن کاملModeling stock market dynamics based on conservation principles
In this paper, a deterministic framework for modeling stock market dynamics is presented. The model is based on assets conservation principles and consists of a series of di0erential equations describing the dynamics of assets trading, and a (nonlinear) functional equation describing trade conservation (i.e., what is bought (sold) by one trader is sold (bought) by other traders). In this way, t...
متن کاملLimited Arbitrage, Segmentation, and Investor Heterogeneity: Why the Law of One Price So Often Fails
There are numerous examples of assets with identical payout streams being priced differently. These violations of the law of one price result from two factors. First, investors have heterogeneous asset valuations so that if two groups of investors trade in segmented markets they are likely to set different prices because they have different expectations as to the value of the identical assets. ...
متن کاملHeterogeneous beliefs and routes to chaos in a simple asset pricing model
This paper investigates the dynamics in a simple present discounted value asset pricing model with heterogeneous beliefs. Agents choose from a finite set of predictors of future prices of a risky asset and revise their ‘beliefs’ in each period in a boundedly rational way, according to a ‘fitness measure’ such as past realized profits. Price fluctuations are thus driven by an evolutionary dynami...
متن کاملManipulating market sentiment
We analyze a simple model of an asset market, in which a large rational trader interacts with ‘‘noise speculators’’ who seek short-run speculative gains, and become active following a prolonged episode of mispricing relative to the asset’s fundamental value. Themodel gives rise to price patterns such as bubble dynamics, positive short-run correlation and vanishing long-run correlation of price ...
