Schizophrenic Representative Investors
نویسنده
چکیده
Representative investors whose behavior is modeled by a deterministic finite automaton generate complexity both in the time series of each asset and in the cross-sectional correlation when the rule governing their behavior is schizophrenic, meaning the investor holds multiple seemingly contradictory beliefs simultaneously, either by switching between two different rules at each time step, or computing different responses to different assets.

Such weight assignments enable us to provide a quantitative link between some m...

In this paper we extend the choice of optimal portfolio and consumption to include also the selection of an optimal home currency for single agents in a segmented real international economy. We also derive an equilibrium that emerges if representative agents behave according to the optimization model.
