Riding Wavelets: A Method to Discover New Classes of Price Jumps

no code implementations25 Apr 2024 Cecilia Aubrun, Rudy Morel, Michael Benzaquen, Jean-Philippe Bouchaud

Cascades of events and extreme occurrences have garnered significant attention across diverse domains such as financial markets, seismology, and social physics.

When is cross impact relevant?

no code implementations26 May 2023 Victor Le Coz, Iacopo Mastromatteo, Damien Challet, Michael Benzaquen

Trading pressure from one asset can move the price of another, a phenomenon referred to as cross impact.

Multivariate Quadratic Hawkes Processes -- Part I: Theoretical Analysis

no code implementations21 Jun 2022 Cécilia Aubrun, Michael Benzaquen, Jean-Philippe Bouchaud

Quadratic Hawkes (QHawkes) processes have proved effective at reproducing the statistics of price changes, capturing many of the stylised facts of financial markets.

Microfounding GARCH Models and Beyond: A Kyle-inspired Model with Adaptive Agents

no code implementations14 Jun 2022 Michele Vodret, Iacopo Mastromatteo, Bence Toth, Michael Benzaquen

We relax the strong rationality assumption for the agents in the paradigmatic Kyle model of price formation, thereby reconciling the framework of asymmetrically informed traders with the Adaptive Market Hypothesis, where agents use inductive rather than deductive reasoning.

Bounded Rationality and Animal Spirits: A Fluctuation-Response Approach to Slutsky Matrices

no code implementations9 Jun 2022 Jerome Garnier-Brun, Jean-Philippe Bouchaud, Michael Benzaquen

The Slutsky equation, central in consumer choice theory, is derived from the usual hypotheses underlying most standard models in Economics, such as full rationality, homogeneity, and absence of interactions.

On Hawkes Processes with Infinite Mean Intensity

no code implementations28 Dec 2021 Cecilia Aubrun, Michael Benzaquen, Jean-Philippe Bouchaud

The stability condition for Hawkes processes and their non-linear extensions usually relies on the condition that the mean intensity is a finite constant.

Do fundamentals shape the price response? A critical assessment of linear impact models

no code implementations8 Dec 2021 Michele Vodret, Iacopo Mastromatteo, Bence Tóth, Michael Benzaquen

We compare the predictions of the stationary Kyle model, a microfounded multi-step linear price impact model in which market prices forecast fundamentals through information encoded in the order flow, with those of the propagator model, a purely data-driven model in which trades mechanically impact prices with a time-decaying kernel.

Exploration of the Parameter Space in Macroeconomic Agent-Based Models

no code implementations16 Nov 2021 Karl Naumann-Woleske, Max Sina Knicker, Michael Benzaquen, Jean-Philippe Bouchaud

Inspired by ideas coming from systems biology, we show that for multiple macroeconomic models, including an agent-based model and several Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models, there are only a few stiff parameter combinations that have strong effects, while the other sloppy directions are irrelevant.

Capital Demand Driven Business Cycles: Mechanism and Effects

1 code implementation30 Sep 2021 Karl Naumann-Woleske, Michael Benzaquen, Maxim Gusev, Dimitri Kroujiline

We develop a tractable macroeconomic model that captures dynamic behaviors across multiple timescales, including business cycles.

Economic Crises in a Model with Capital Scarcity and Self-Reflexive Confidence

no code implementations20 Sep 2021 Federico Guglielmo Morelli, Karl Naumann-Woleske, Michael Benzaquen, Marco Tarzia, Jean-Philippe Bouchaud

In the General Theory, Keynes remarked that the economy's state depends on expectations, and that these expectations can be subject to sudden swings.

Exogenous and Endogenous Price Jumps Belong to Different Dynamical Classes

no code implementations13 Jun 2021 Riccardo Marcaccioli, Jean-Philippe Bouchaud, Michael Benzaquen

Synchronising a database of stock specific news with 5 years worth of order book data on 300 stocks, we show that abnormal price movements following news releases (exogenous) exhibit markedly different dynamical features from those arising spontaneously (endogenous).

Cross impact in derivative markets

no code implementations4 Feb 2021 Mehdi Tomas, Iacopo Mastromatteo, Michael Benzaquen

Trading a financial asset pushes its price as well as the prices of other assets, a phenomenon known as cross-impact.

Crisis Propagation in a Heterogeneous Self-Reflexive DSGE Model

no code implementations14 Jan 2021 Federico Guglielmo Morelli, Michael Benzaquen, Jean-Philippe Bouchaud, Marco Tarzia

We study a self-reflexive DSGE model with heterogeneous households, aimed at characterising the impact of economic recessions on the different strata of the society.

Out-of-Equilibrium Dynamics and Excess Volatility in Firm Networks

1 code implementation9 Dec 2020 Théo Dessertaine, José Moran, Michael Benzaquen, Jean-Philippe Bouchaud

We show that the time needed to reach equilibrium diverges to infinity as the system approaches an instability point beyond which the Hawkins-Simons condition is violated and competitive equilibrium is no longer admissible.

A Stationary Kyle Setup: Microfounding propagator models

1 code implementation20 Nov 2020 Michele Vodret, Iacopo Mastromatteo, Bence Tóth, Michael Benzaquen

We provide an economically sound micro-foundation to linear price impact models, by deriving them as the equilibrium of a suitable agent-based system.

Non-parametric Estimation of Quadratic Hawkes Processes for Order Book Events

no code implementations12 May 2020 Antoine Fosset, Jean-Philippe Bouchaud, Michael Benzaquen

We find that the Zumbach kernel is a power-law of time, as are all other feedback kernels.

How to build a cross-impact model from first principles: Theoretical requirements and empirical results

no code implementations3 Apr 2020 Mehdi Tomas, Iacopo Mastromatteo, Michael Benzaquen

Trading a financial instrument pushes its price and those of other assets, a phenomenon known as cross-impact.

Zooming In on Equity Factor Crowding

no code implementations13 Jan 2020 Valerio Volpati, Michael Benzaquen, Zoltan Eisler, Iacopo Mastromatteo, Bence Toth, Jean-Philippe Bouchaud

Crowding is most likely an important factor in the deterioration of strategy performance, the increase of trading costs and the development of systemic risk.

Conditional Correlations and Principal Regression Analysis for Futures

no code implementations27 Dec 2019 Armine Karami, Raphael Benichou, Michael Benzaquen, Jean-Philippe Bouchaud

We explore the effect of past market movements on the instantaneous correlations between assets within the futures market.

Endogenous Liquidity Crises

no code implementations1 Dec 2019 Antoine Fosset, Jean-Philippe Bouchaud, Michael Benzaquen

Empirical data reveals that the liquidity flow into the order book (depositions, cancellations andmarket orders) is influenced by past price changes.

Crossover from linear to square-Root market impact

2 code implementations13 Nov 2018 Frédéric Bucci, Michael Benzaquen, Fabrizio Lillo, Jean-Philippe Bouchaud

Using a large database of 8 million institutional trades executed in the U. S. equity market, we establish a clear crossover between a linear market impact regime and a square-root regime as a function of the volume of the order.
