In their path-finding 1973 paper, Black and Scholes presented two separate derivations of their famous option pricing partial differential equation. The second derivation was from the standpoint that was Black's original motivation, namely, the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). We show here,...

The question of information cascades in finance appears in the literature. We use the dynamics of Kolmogorov's 1962 (K62) turbulence model, an example of multiaffine scaling, to illustrate how evidence for diffusion from large to small length scales, or correspondingly an information cascade...

Extending previous work on non-equilibrium option pricing theory (Eur. Phys. J. 14 (2000) 383–394), a mean field approach is developed to understand the curvature of (implied by Black–Scholes (BS)) volatility surfaces (curves) as a function of moneyness (strike price divided by price). The...

Тема данной работы на сегодняшний день актуальна, поскольку инфраструктура Омской области в данный момент слабо развита, что негативно сказывается на доходную...

The price time series of the Italian government bonds (BTP) futures is studied by means of scaling concepts originally developed for random walks in statistical physics. The series of overnight price differences is mapped onto a one-dimensional random walk: the bond walk. The analysis of the...

In this paper, we provide an insight into the emergence of power-law and two-phase behavior in the financial market fluctuations by defining an analytical model for time evolution of stock share prices. The defined model can exhibit bimodal behavior in the supply-demand structure of the market....

We investigate the origin of volatility in financial markets by defining an analytical model for time evolution of stock share prices. The defined model is similar to the GARCH class of models, but can additionally exhibit bimodal behaviour in the supply–demand structure of the market....

The collective phenomena of a liquid market is characterized in terms of a particle system scenario. This physical analogy enables us to disentangle intrinsic features from purely stochastic ones. The latter are the result of environmental changes due to a ‘heat bath’ acting on the...
