A model of adaptive, market behavior generating positive returns, volatility and system risk [PDF]
We describe a simple model for speculative trading based on adaptive behavior of economic agents.The adaptive behavior is expressed through a feedback mechanism for changing agents' stock-to-bond ratios, depending on the past performance of their portfolios.The stock price is set according to the demand-supply for the asset derived from the agents ...

Collective behavior of stock prices as a precursor to market crash [PDF]
We study precursors to the global market crash that occurred on all main stock exchanges throughout the world in October 2008 about three weeks after the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. on 15 September. We examine the collective behavior of stock returns and analyze the market mode, which is a market-wide collective mode, with constituent ...

The US farm credit system and agricultural development: Evidence from an early expansion, 1920–1940
Abstract I explore the impact of the Production Credit Associations (PCAs), an arm of the early Farm Credit System, on agricultural yield and input use following the farm crisis of the 1920s. Like many low‐ and middle‐income countries today, farmers in the early 20th century United States found it difficult to access credit.

Economics Mapping to the Renormalization Group Scaling of Stock Markets [PDF]
We make an attempt to map a simple economically motivated model for the price evolution [J. Phys. A: Gen. Math 33, 3637 (2000)] to the phenomenological renormalization group scaling of stock markets. This mapping gives insight into the critical exponents and the renormalization group predictions for the log-periodic oscillations preceding some stock ...

ABSTRACT This research aims to explore and understand the dynamic nature of volatility connectedness between BRICS stock markets and various asset price implied volatility indices through a TVP‐VAR broadened connectedness approach. Results display nontrivial dynamic connectedness in the BRICS stock markets and uncertainties in different markets during ...

Crashes as Critical Points [PDF]
We study a rational expectation model of bubbles and crashes. The model has two components : (1) our key assumption is that a crash may be caused by local self-reinforcing imitation between noise traders. If the tendency for noise traders to imitate their nearest neighbors increases up to a certain point called the ``critical'' point, all noise traders
