Historical daily data for eleven years of the fifty constituent stocks of the NIFTY index traded on the National Stock Exchange have been analyzed to check for the stylized facts in the Indian market. It is observed that while some stylized facts of other markets are also observed in Indian market, there are significan…

We present a simple model of a stock market where a random communication structure between agents gives rise to a heavy tails in the distribution of stock price variations in the form of an exponentially truncated power-law, similar to distributions observed in recent empirical studies of high frequency market data. Ou…

Interest rate market models, like the LIBOR market model, have the advantage that the basic model quantities are directly observable in financial markets. Inflation market models extend this approach to inflation markets, where zero-coupon and year-on-year inflation-indexed swaps are the basic observable products. For …

As a model of market price, we introduce a new type of random walk in a moving potential which is approximated by a quadratic function with its center given by the moving average of its own trace. The properties of resulting random walks are similar to those of ordinary random walks for large time scales; however, thei…

The paper analyzes the crash of stock and commodity markets during COVID-19 using Topological Data Analysis.

problem Identifying and understanding the dynamics and interdependence of stock and commodity markets during the COVID-19 crash.

result Significant topological differences and interdependence between stock and commodity markets during the crash period.

In this article we discuss the distribution of asset price movements by the market potential function. From the principle of free energy minimization we analyze two different kinds of market potentials. We obtain a U-shaped potential when market reversion (i.e. contrarian investors) is dominant. On the other hand, if t…

This paper treats prediction markets as Bayesian inverse problems to quantify uncertainty and identify event outcomes.

problem Uncertainty and identifiability in prediction market outcomes from price-volume histories.
method Formulates prediction markets as Bayesian inverse problems, introduces a log-odds observation model, and derives posterior uncertainty quantification and identifiability criteria.
result Explicit diagnostics for informative and stable inference regimes, and validation through synthetic data experiments.

We study the price dynamics of 65 stocks from the Dow Jones Composite Average from 1973 until 2014. We show that it is possible to define a Daily Market Volatility σ(t)σ(t) which is directly observable from data. This quantity is usually indirectly defined by r(t)=σ(t)ω(t)r(t)=σ(t) ω(t) where the r(t)r(t) are the daily returns of the…

We discuss the statistical properties of index returns in a financial market just after a major market crash. The observed non-stationary behavior of index returns is characterized in terms of the exceedances over a given threshold. This characterization is analogous to the Omori law originally observed in geophysics. …

We consider arbitrage free valuation of European options in Black-Scholes and Merton markets, where the general structure of the market is known, however the specific parameters are not known. In order to reflect this subjective uncertainty of a market participant, we follow a Bayesian approach to option pricing. Here …

We introduce a new system of stochastic differential equations which models dependence of market beta and unsystematic risk upon size, measured by market capitalization. We fit our model using size deciles data from Kenneth French's data library. This model is somewhat similar to generalized volatility-stabilized model…

The paper models asset pricing in a partially observed market using mean field game theory and exponential quadratic Gaussian framework.

problem Asset pricing in a market with partial observation and heterogeneous agents.
method Mean field game theory, exponential quadratic Gaussian framework, Kalman-Bucy filtering theory.
result Characterization of equilibrium risk premium through mean field BSDE and construction of unobservable risk premium process.

A new approach to the understanding of complex behavior of financial markets index using tools from thermodynamics and statistical physics is developed.

method The authors create stratified models of asset return mean and covariance, fit these models using Laplacian regularization, and combine them with a Markowitz optimization method.
result The trading policy performs well out of sample and can be scaled to larger problems.

Crashes have fascinated and baffled many canny observers of financial markets. In the strict orthodoxy of the efficient market theory, crashes must be due to sudden changes of the fundamental valuation of assets. However, detailed empirical studies suggest that large price jumps cannot be explained by news and are the …
