This paper studies how peers' financial behaviour affects individuals' own investment choices. To identify the peer effect, we exploit the unique composition of the Luxembourg population and use the differences in stock market participation across various immigrant groups to study how they...

Hundreds of equity market intelligence FinTechs have formed in the last decade. We assemble novel data to describe their capabilities, users, and consequences. Our data suggest that these FinTechs: (i) aggregate many data sources, including nontraditional ones (e.g., Twitter, blogs), and...

This paper studies the wealth dynamics of investors holding self-financing portfolios in a continuous-time model of a financial market. Asset prices are endogenously determined by market clearing. We derive results on the asymptotic dynamics of the wealth distribution and asset prices for...

This paper aims to open a new avenue for research in continuous-time financial market models with endogenous prices and heterogenous investors. The main result is the derivation of the limit of a discretetime evolutionary stock market model as the length of the time period tends to zero. The...

We study the dynamics of a Lucas-tree model with finitely lived agents who "learn from experience." Individuals update expectations by Bayesian learning based on observations from their own lifetimes. In this model, the stock price exhibits stochastic boom-and-bust fluctuations around the...
