The stock market has been known to form homogeneous stock groups with a higher correlation among different stocks according to common economic factors that influence individual stocks. We investigate the role of common economic factors in the market in the formation of stock networks, using the arbitrage pricing model …

Study shows economic policy uncertainty increases stock market crash risk during pandemic.
Study examines how economic policy uncertainty impacts stock markets.
The thermodynamics of markets is analyzed, revealing parallels with thermodynamic laws.
This work explains crises in markets without external news using bounded rational agents.
Economic factors significantly influence stock returns, as shown by attribution analysis.
Study improves stock return prediction by switching between economic states, outperforming traditional methods.
The origin of economic crises is a key problem for economics. We present a model of long-run competitive markets to show that the multiplicity of behaviors in an economic system, over a long time scale, emerge as statistical regularities (perfectly competitive markets obey Bose-Einstein statistics and purely monopolist…
Study develops time-continuous models and probabilistic descriptions for agent-based economic market models.
The dynamic network of relationships among corporations underlies cascading economic failures including the current economic crisis, and can be inferred from correlations in market value fluctuations. We analyze the time dependence of the network of correlations to reveal the changing relationships among the financial,…
We study the qualitative and quantitative appearance of stylized facts in several agent-based computational economic market (ABCEM) models. We perform our simulations with the SABCEMM (Simulator for Agent-Based Computational Economic Market Models) tool recently introduced by the authors (Trimborn et al. 2019). Further…
A new platform models how narratives influence financial markets.
The paper finds that bear markets cause recessions and bull markets cause expansions, with bull markets having a stronger causal effect.
New framework detects time-varying economic persistence.
Current economic theories miss most of economic dynamics.
Study evaluates cryptocurrency markets, focusing on Bitcoin.
Open AI models affect bond yields differently than closed ones.
Improves stock market predictions on Election Day.
Our study shows that many firms would accumulate at zero output level (namely, Bankruptcy status) if a perfectly competitive market reaches full employment (namely, those people who should obtain employment have obtained employment). As a result, appearance of economic crisis is determined by two points; that is, (a). …
This paper explores data science applications in economics using a taxonomy of models and hybrid models showing higher accuracy.
Generative neural networks improve insurance market risk modeling.
In this paper, simple mathematical models from Control Theory are applied to three very important economic paradigms, namely (a) minimum wages in self-regulating markets, (b) market-versus-true values and currency rates, and (c) government spending and taxation levels. Analytical solutions are provided in all three par…
Market equilibrium price proven in a large-agent model.
The paper uses machine learning to predict the impact of the Ukraine crisis on financial markets.
By analyzing a large data set of daily returns with data clustering technique, we identify economic sectors as clusters of assets with a similar economic dynamics. The sector size distribution follows Zipf's law. Secondly, we find that patterns of daily market-wide economic activity cluster into classes that can be ide…
Review of financial dependencies using econophysics and financial economics.
Paper uses bipartite graph to forecast cross-market returns, revealing asymmetry.
Investor expectations shifted pessimistically during the 2020 stock market crash and recovery.
These notes discuss several topics in neoclassical economics and alternatives, with an aim of reviewing fundamental issues in modeling economic markets. I start with a brief, non-rigorous summary of the basic Arrow-Debreu model of general equilibrium, as well as its extensions to include time and contingency. I then ar…
Price and return predictions are limited by economic complexity, not just volatility.
Study reveals finite-size effects and sensitivity to random numbers in Levy-Levy-Solomon model.
Graph neural networks detect collusion patterns across markets.
How do we assign value to economic transactions? To answer this question, we must consider whether the value of objects is inherent, is a product of social interaction, or involves other mechanisms. Economic theory predicts that there is an optimal price for any market transaction, and can be observed during auctions o…
Agent-based model helps design financial markets.
We present an overview of some representative Agent-Based Models in Economics. We discuss why and how agent-based models represent an important step in order to explain the dynamics and the statistical properties of financial markets beyond the Classical Theory of Economics. We perform a schematic analysis of several m…
Minimal model reveals power laws in financial markets.
Mean Field Games applied to finance and economics.
We study association between macroeconomic news and stock market returns using the statistical theory of copulas, and a new comprehensive measure of news based on the indexing of news wires. We find the impact of economic news on equity returns to be nonlinear and asymmetric. In particular, controlling for economic con…
We propose a simple quantitative model of Schumpeterian economic dynamics. New goods and services are endogenously produced through combinations of existing goods. As soon as new goods enter the market they may compete against already existing goods, in other words new products can have destructive effects on existing …
Study on financial impacts of zombie outbreak on economy.
The aim of this paper is to identify the determinants of international stock markets integration. Intuitively we selected a great number of factors linked to financial integration. Then, we developed an international asset-pricing model with time-varying degree of integration. This model is estimated for 30 countries (…
The paper discusses various practical consequences of treating economics and finance as an inherently dynamic and chaotic system. On the theoretical side this looks at the general applicability of the market-making pricing approach to economics in general. The paper also discuses the consequences of the endogenous crea…
We introduce the simulation tool SABCEMM (Simulator for Agent-Based Computational Economic Market Models) for agent-based computational economic market (ABCEM) models. Our simulation tool is implemented in C++ and we can easily run ABCEM models with several million agents. The object-oriented software design enables th…
Generative Networks outperform traditional methods in PiT ESG generation.
Second-order economic theory considers new variables to improve price volatility predictions.
Using a metric related to the returns correlation, a method is proposed to reconstruct an economic space from the market data. A reduced subspace, associated to the systematic structure of the market, is identified and its dimension related to the number of terms in factor models. Example were worked out involving sets…
This paper introduces stylized facts and agent-based modeling in finance.
We test a historical price time series in a financial market (the NASDAQ 100 index) for a statistical property known as detailed balance. The presence of detailed balance would imply that the market can be modeled by a stochastic process based on a Markov chain, thus leading to equilibrium. In economic terms, a positiv…
