Abstract:

A multivariate stylized fact of financial markets is the frequent occurrence of simultaneous extreme returns. A simple agent-based behavioral model is presented that accounts for this phenomenon. Joint extremes are gener- ated by heterogeneous fundamentalist traders whose per- ceptions of the effect of a common news factor on asset values become aligned during market stress. Simulation results are compared to an empirical investigation of two major Hungarian stocks.
