48 results for Speculative Capital

A model of open economics composed of producers and speculators is investigated by numerical simulations. The capital flows from the environment to the producers and from them to the speculators. The price fluctuations are suppressed by the speculators. When the aggressivity of the speculators grows, there is a transit…

We derive formulas for the performance of capital assets in continuous time from an efficient market hypothesis, with no stochastic assumptions and no assumptions about the beliefs or preferences of investors. Our efficient market hypothesis says that a speculator with limited means cannot beat a particular index by a …

Empirical evidence suggests that even the most competitive markets are not strictly efficient. Price histories can be used to predict near future returns with a probability better than random chance. Many markets can be considered as {\it favorable games}, in the sense that there is a small probabilistic edge that smar…

Previous analyses of a large ensemble of stock markets have demonstrated that a log-periodic power law (LPPL) behavior of the prices constitutes a qualifying signature of speculative bubbles that often land with a crash. We detect such a LPPL signature in the foreign capital inflow during the bubble on the US markets c…

Study replicates reference-dependent preferences impact on risk-return trade-off in Chinese stock market.

problem Impact of reference-dependent preferences on risk-return trade-off in Chinese stock market.

result Reference-dependent preferences have a weaker or absent positive risk-return relationship in the Chinese market.

We introduce a stochastic price model where, together with a random component, a moving average of logarithmic prices contributes to the price formation. Our model is tested against financial datasets, showing an extremely good agreement with them. It suggests how to construct trading strategies which imply a capital g…

In this paper we propose a novel index to quantify and measure the flow of information on macro and micro scales. We discuss the implications of this index for knowledge management fields and also as intellectual capital that can thus be utilized by entrepreneurs. We explore different function and human oriented metric…

Defines speculative bubbles in discrete-time models based on discounted stock price losing mass.

problem Characterizing speculative bubbles in discrete-time models.
method Introduces a new definition based on discounted stock price behavior and provides probabilistic characterizations.
result Speculative bubbles in discrete time are linked to solutions of a linear Volterra integral equation.

We present and study a Minority Game based model of a financial market where adaptive agents -- the speculators -- interact with deterministic agents -- called producers. Speculators trade only if they detect predictable patterns which grant them a positive gain. Indeed the average number of active speculators grows wi…

Agent-based model simulates speculative electronic market with price bubbles.

problem Understanding speculative behavior and price bubbles in electronic markets.
method Agent-based model with two types of traders: mean reverting and speculative.
result Speculative traders lead to increased volatility and price deviations from fundamental value.

The paper revisits classical competition theory to explain speculative asset price dynamics.

problem Understanding the dynamics of speculative asset prices and their volatility.
method Specialized classical model of competition with reservation prices, incorporating speculation.
result The model explains excess, fat-tailed, and clustered volatility in speculative asset prices.

Optimization methods are used to determine equilibria of investment in cryptocurrencies. The basic assumptions involve existence of a core group (the "wealthy") that fears the loss of substantial assets through government seizure. Speculators constitute another group that tends to introduce volatility and risk for the …

This paper analyzes speculative decoding, a method to speed up large language model inferences.

problem Theoretical understanding of speculative decoding is lacking.
method Conceptualizes speculative decoding as a markov chain problem and studies its key properties.
result Reveals fundamental connections between LLM components and their impact on decoding efficiency.

Adaptive speculative decoding framework for LLMs using bandit algorithms.

problem Adaptive speculative decoding for LLMs to balance speed and quality.
method Formulated as a Multi-Armed Bandit problem, proposed UCBSpec and EXP3Spec algorithms.
result UCBSpec algorithm achieves optimal regret performance up to universal constants.

Cactus improves auto-regressive decoding speed without sacrificing quality.

problem Accelerating auto-regressive decoding while maintaining output quality.
method Formalizes speculative sampling as constrained optimization and proposes Cactus for controlled divergence from the verifier distribution.
result Empirically validated effectiveness across various benchmarks.

Estimates crypto risk premia using hidden factors and finds significant integration with traditional markets.

problem Estimating risk premia in cryptocurrency returns.
method Giglio-Xiu (2021) three-pass approach, controlling for latent factors and non-tradable state variables.
result Latent factors significantly impact crypto returns, highlighting the importance of controlling for unobserved risks.

The object of this contribution is to present the ideas behind the thinking of the French economist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (1809-1865) in relation to the causes and effects of Stock market speculation. It is based upon the works of this author but particularly on his "Manuel du spéculateur à la Bourse" (Stock Market Sp…

We introduce the speculate-correct method to derive error bounds for local classifiers. Using it, we show that k nearest neighbor classifiers, in spite of their famously fractured decision boundaries, have exponential error bounds with O(sqrt((k + ln n) / n)) error bound range for n in-sample examples.

The Minority Game is a generic model of competing adaptive agents, which is often believed to be a model of financial markets. We discuss to which extend this is a reasonable statement, and present minimal modifications that make this model reproduce stylized facts. The resulting model shows that without speculators, p…
