We explore the relationship between outcomes in a coordination game and a pre-play asset market in which values are determined by outcomes in the subsequent coordination game. Across two experiments, we vary the payoffs from the market relative to the game, the degree of interdependence in the game, and whether traders’ asset payoffs are dependent on outcomes in their own or another game. Marke...

Default risk model is provided by using option pricing theory in a fuzzy framework in consideration of a simple company comprised of a single type of the debt that is free from profit payment and a single type of capital that is liberated from dividend. The model is based on the assumption that asset value of a company is the sum of total market value of stock and debt value, considering a situ...

Due to increasing use of bond and loan collateral within one transaction, the term collateralized debt obligation is becoming more popular, and the terms collateralized bond obligation (CBO) and collaterali...

In this work, we identify the most general measure of arbitrage for any market model governed by Itô processes. We show that our arbitrage measure is invariant under changes of numéraire and equivalent probability. Moreover, such measure has a geometrical interpretation as a gauge connection. The connection has zero curvature if and only if there is no arbitrage. We prove an extension of the Ma...

Along with the advance of opinion mining techniques, public mood has been found to be a key element for stock market prediction. However, in what manner the market participants are affected by public mood has been rarely discussed. As a result, there has been little progress in leveraging public mood for the asset allocation problem, as the application is preferred in a trusted and interpretabl...

Robust portfolio optimization aims to maximize the worst-case portfolio return given that the asset returns are allowed to vary within a prescribed uncertainty set. If the uncertainty set is not too large, the resulting portfolio performs well under normal market conditions. However, its performance may substantially degrade in the presence of market crashes, that is, if the asset returns mater...

We propose a unified model of limited market integration, asset-price determination, leveraging, and contagion. Investors and firms are located on a circle, and access to markets involves participation costs that increase with distance. Despite the exante symmetry of investors, their strategies may (endogenously) exhibit diversity, with some investors in each location following high-leverage, h...

The efficient market hypothesis states that the market incorporates all available information to provide an accurate valuation of the asset at any given time. However, most models for forecasting the return or volatility of assets completely disregard the arrival of asset specific news (i.e., news which is directly relevant to the asset). In this paper we propose a simple adaptation to the GARC...
