Can Endogenous Participation Explain Price Volatility? Evidence from an Agent-Based Cobweb Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work provides a computational cobweb model with heterogeneous adaptive producers with endogenous market entry and exit. Firms face a borrowing constraint and so can go bankrupt. At the same time when average profits are positive there is an inflow of new firms in the market. Bounded dynamics and endogenous volatility are shown to follow without resorting to nonlinearities.

A Simple Deterministic Model of the Volatility of Commodity Prices with Storage
Abstract. The paper investigates how producer’s storage may smoothen, or increase, the endogenous dynamic volatility of commodity markets. A two-season cobweb model is developed for annually harvested crops. This model of intra-year storage has risk averse and naive producers. The model is often periodic but can also be chaotic, i.e., endogenously volatile. The introduction of storage in the mo...
متن کاملStudying the Dividend Policy and Share Price Volatility: Iran Evidence
Explaining dividend policy has been one of the most difficult challenges facing financial economists. Despite decades of study, we have yet to completely understand the factors that influence dividend policy and the manner in which these factors interact.The aim of this paper is to examine the relation between dividend policy and share price volatility in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE). The analys...
متن کاملParticipation Externalities and Asset Price Volatility
I analyze how an exogenous cost of entry in a risky asset market a®ects two endogenous variables: the degree of market participation and the price volatility. I show that di®erent entry costs generate different participation equilibria and multiplicity of equilibria arises for some range of entry costs, but the new market entrants are always more risk-averse than the rest of the participants. E...
متن کامل08 Effects of the Import of Consumption, Intermediate and Capital Goods on Transmission of Crude Oil Price Volatility to the Industry and Mining Sector in Iran
In this research, the DCC model is estimated to calculate dynamic correlation series between crude oil price and growth of Industry and Mine sector during 1367:1-1392:4. Then, Macroeconomic variables which can explain the dynamic correlation are analyzed as variables of contagion. So, the import, as an effective and affected variable from crude oil price, is separated to real import of consumpt...
متن کاملA Copula-based Quantile Model for Crude oil Return-Volatility Dependence Modelling: Case of Iran Heavy Oil
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between Iran’s heavy crude oil price returns and volatility dependence using the Copula-based quantile model (CQM). CQM is an efficient tool for analyzing nonlinear time series models as it has no need for initial assumptions. We use monthly data from January 1990 to December 2019. We use the Hadrick-Prescott filter to calculate...
