result Investment strategies under relative wealth concerns exhibit a herd effect, with accurate prior estimators leading the market.

When investors have heterogeneous attitudes towards risk, it is reasonable to assume that each investor has a pricing kernel, and that these individual pricing kernels are aggregated to form a market pricing kernel. The various investors are then buyers or sellers depending on how their individual pricing kernels compa…

Study on stock portfolio concentration among Finnish households and investors.

problem Understanding the concentration of stock portfolios owned by Finnish households and investors.
method Analysis of stock portfolios using Herfindahl-Hirschman index over 20 years.
result High portfolio concentration observed in Finnish retail investors, similar to institutional investors.

We develop a finite horizon continuous time market model, where risk averse investors maximize utility from terminal wealth by dynamically investing in a risk-free money market account, a stock written on a default-free dividend process, and a defaultable bond, whose prices are determined via equilibrium. We analyze fi…

We quantify the benefit of collectivised investment funds, in which the assets of members who die are shared among the survivors. For our model, with realistic parameter choices, an annuity or individual fund requires approximately 20\% more initial capital to provide as good an outcome as a collectivised investment fu…

The paper introduces a new volatility model for state heterogeneous financial markets using high-frequency data.

problem State heterogeneity in financial volatility processes.
method Developed a state heterogeneous GARCH-Ito (SG-Ito) model based on continuous Ito diffusion process.
result Empirical studies reveal various state heterogeneities in S&P 500 index volatility.

Study shows different types of volatility and skewness changes affect stock prices.

problem Different types of volatility and skewness changes affect stock prices.
method Used intraday data for individual stocks to analyze cross-section of asset returns.
result Idiosyncratic transitory and persistent shocks to volatility and skewness are priced differently in stock returns.

Study on price formation among investors with exponential utility and liabilities.

problem Equilibrium price formation among investors with heterogeneous risk-averseness and liabilities.
method Mean-field game theory and mean-field backward stochastic differential equations (BSDE).

This study generalizes an econophysics model to account for trader heterogeneity, finding robust power-law exponents but sensitive prefactors.

method The study proposes a generalised Lillo-Mike-Farmer model and solves it exactly without heuristic assumptions.
result The power-law exponent in the order-sign ACF is robust for arbitrary heterogeneous intensity distributions, but the prefactor is sensitive to heterogeneity.
