Published / Preprint: On statistical indistinguishability of the complete and incomplete markets. (arXiv:1209.4695v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 23 Sep 2012 05:30 PM PDT

The possibility of statistical evaluation of the market completeness and incompleteness is investigated for continuous time diffusion stock market models. It is shown that, for any incomplete market model from a wide class of models, there exists a complete market model with an arbitrarily close paths of the stock prices. This leads to the counterintuitive conclusion that the incomplete markets...

Published / Preprint: Stock Price Dynamics and Option Valuations under Volatility Feedback Effect. (arXiv:1209.4718v1 [q-fin.PR])

According to the volatility feedback effect, an unexpected increase in squared volatility leads to an immediate decline in the price-dividend ratio.

Most importantly, our model...

The performance of the k-generalized distribution was checked against real data on personal income for the United States in 2003. In this paper we extend our...

Posted: 23 Sep 2012 05:30 PM PDT

This work's purpose is to understand the dynamics of some social systems whose properties can be captured by certain iterated function systems.
