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. |
