Stock prices have the characteristics of nonlinearity, randomicity and uncertainty, so It is difficult to accurately depict the change rules of stock prices using traditional linear forecasting methods, which lead to low stock price prediction accuracy. In order to improve the stock price prediction precision , this paper proposed a stock price predicting model using SVM optimized by particle s...

In a market-based scheduling mechanism, the allocation of time-specific resources to tasks is governed by a competitive bidding process. Agents bidding for multiple, separately allocated time slots face the risk that they will succeed in obtaining only part of their requirement, incurring expenses for potentially worthless slots. We investigate the use of price prediction strategies to manage s...

E-consumers face biggest challenge of opting for the best bidding strategies for competing in an environment of multiple and simultaneous online auctions for same or similar items. It becomes very complicated for the bidders to make decisions of selecting which auction to participate in, place single or multiple bids, early or late bidding and how much to bid. In this paper, we present the desi...

We use laboratory experiments to examine the effect of firm size asymmetry on price leadership in a capacity constrained duopoly. The unique subgame perfect equilibrium of our duopoly game predicts that the large firm is the price leader. In the experiment, although price leadership by the large firm is frequently observed, behavior deviates significantly from the model’s prediction. Both small...

Technical analysis is the forecasting of future price movement based on an examination of past prices. Some scientist found that the study of historical prices cannot predict future prices. In this research we intend to study which technical analysis tool is better for prediction of future price movement, for this purpose we are studying two the most strongest technical analysis tools is called...

The purpose of this paper is the empirically examination of the effect of the Institutional Quality Components (Voice and Accountability, political stability and Absence of Violence and Terrorism, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, rule of law and control of corruption) on the prediction of total stock price index. The study was carried out using data extracted from 53 countries from...

In this paper instability of planar anisotropic sheet metal during a few forming processes is investigated for the first time. For this reason components of the constitutive tangent tensor for planar anisotropic sheets are developed. By using the above tensor location of necking is predicted. Direction of the shear band is also predicted using the acoustic tensor. A finite element program is pr...

Prediction markets are low volume speculative markets whose prices offer informative forecasts on particular policy topics. Observers worry that traders may attempt to mislead decision makers by manipulating prices. We adapt a Kyle-style market microstructure model to this case, adding a manipulator with an additional quadratic preference regarding the price. In this model, when other traders a...

A price reveal auction is a Dutch auction in which the current price of the item on sale remains hidden. Bidders can privately observe the price only by paying a fee, and every time a bidder does so, the price falls by a predetermined amount. We show that in equilibrium, no rational bidder should enter into such an auction. Contrary to this prediction, data about actual price reveal auctions ru...
