Heterogeneous Speculators and Asset Price Dynamics: Further Results from a One-Dimensional Discontinuous Piecewise-Linear Map

چکیده
In this paper we continue exploring a recently introduced financial market model in which boundedly rational agents follow technical and fundamental trading rules to determine their orders. Amongst other things, our model reveals that interactions between heterogeneous speculators can generate interesting boom-bust cycles. In addition, we provide an extensive analytical treatment of the model’s underlying dynamical system, which is given by a one-dimensional discontinuous piecewiselinearmap. One result is that we detect a period-adding bifurcation sequence, implying the existence of infinitely many stable cycles. Moreover, we analytically determine the parameter space that yields stable, cyclical and chaotic asset price fluctuations.

A simple financial market model with chartists and fundamentalists: Market entry levels and discontinuities
We present a simple nancial market model with interacting chartists and fundamentalists. Since some of these speculators only become active when a certain misalignment level has been crossed, the dynamics are driven by a discontinuous piecewise linear map. The model endogenously generates bubbles and crashes and excess volatility for a broad range of parameter values and thus explains some k...
متن کاملA behavioral cobweb-like commodity market model with heterogeneous speculators
a r t i c l e i n f o According to empirical studies, speculators place significant orders in commodity markets and may cause bubbles and crashes. This paper develops a cobweb-like commodity market model that takes into account the behavior of technical and fundamental speculators. We show that interactions between consumers, producers and heterogeneous speculators may produce price dynamics wh...
متن کاملEndogenous cycles in discontinuous growth models
In this paper we consider a discontinuous one-dimensional piecewise linear model describing a neoclassical growth model. These kind of maps are widely used in the applied context. We determine the analytical expressions of border collision bifurcation curves, responsible for the observed dynamics, which consists of attracting cycles of any period and of quasiperiodic trajectories in exceptional...
متن کاملBorder Collision Bifurcations in n-Dimensional Piecewise Linear Discontinuous Maps
Abstract. In this paper we report some important results that help in analizing the border collision bifurcations that occur in n-dimensional discontinuous maps. For this purpose, we use the piecewise linear approximation in the neighborhood of the plane of discontinuity. Earlier, Feigin had made a similar analysis for general n-dimensional piecewise smooth continuous maps. Proceeding along sim...
متن کاملDynamics of Piecewise Linear Discontinuous Maps
In this paper, the dynamics of maps representing classes of controlled sampled systems with backlash are examined. First, a bilinear one-dimensional map is considered, and the analysis shows that, depending on the value of the control parameter, all orbits originating in an attractive set are either periodic or dense on the attractor. Moreover, the dense orbits have sensitive dependence on init...
