The Effects of a Financial Transaction Tax in an Artificial Financial Market

چکیده
We investigate the effects of a Financial Transaction Tax (FTT) in an order-driven artificial financial market. FTTs are meant to limit short-term speculative behavior by reducing the amount of excess liquidity in the system. To quantify these effects, adjustments in trading strategies and their effects on liquidity need to be taken into account. We model an agentbased continuous double-auction, allowing for a continuum of investment strategies within the chartist/fundamentalist framework. For certain parameter combinations, our model is able to reproduce certain stylized facts of financial time-series. We find largely positive effects of the FTT for small tax rates. Additionally, for large tax rates we find the effects not to be as negative as previously found.

This papers studies the impact of a financial transactions tax on the trading volume and asset price volatility in a model with heterogeneous beliefs.

The simulated model shows that the introduction of a transaction tax resul...
متن کاملMarket versus Residence Principle: Experimental Evidence on the Effects of a Financial Transaction Tax
The effects of a financial transaction tax (FTT) are scientifically disputed, as seemingly small details of its implementation may matter a lot. In this article, we provide experimental evidence on the different effects of an FTT, depending on whether it is implemented as a tax on markets, on residents, or a combination of both. We find that a tax on markets has negative effects on volatility a...
