I present a simple model of an evolutionary financial market with heterogeneous agents, based on the concept of adaptive belief systems introduced by Brock and Hommes (1997a). Agents choose between different forecast rules based on past performance, resulting in an evolutionary dynamics across...

Die zentrale Funktion von Preisen is es, Signale an die Anbieter und Nachfrager auf den entsprechenden Märkten zu vermitteln. Die Sensitivität der Reaktion von Anbietern und Nachfragern auf Preisänderungen auf Boden- und Immobilienmärkten wird dabei anhand von sogenannten direkten...

This paper uses a unique data set of Latin American paintings auctioned by Sotheby's between 1995 and 2002 to investigate several puzzles from the recent auctions literature. Our results suggest that: (1) the reputation of an artist and the provenance of the artwork, omitted variables in most...

While some of the recent surge of oil prices can be attributed to robust global demandat a time of tight production capacities, commentators occasionally also blame theimpact of speculators for part of the price pressure. We propose an empirical oil market model with heterogeneous speculators....

This paper proposes the Shannon entropy as an appropriate one-dimensional measure of behavioural trading patterns in financial markets. The concept is applied to the illustrative example of algorithmic vs. non-algorithmic trading and empirical data from Deutsche Börse's electronic cash equity...

We develop and study a stochastic eliminative choice procedure, called choice by random checklist (CRC). On the one hand CRC extends the idea of Tversky's Elimination by Aspects (EBA) to explain, for example, stochastically intransitive choices. On the other hand a special case of CRC is...

This paper highlights the main features of the underground economy at the European level, laying the stress on Romania. The underground economy seems to have a major significance because important resources of the budget are “missed” by the state, with consequences for a decent standard of...

We model a boundedly rational agent who suffers from limited attention. The agent considers each feasible alternative with a given (unobservable) probability,the attention parameter, and then chooses the alternative that maximises a preference relation within the set of considered alternatives....
