Artificial market model based on deterministic agents and derivation of limit of GARCH type process
Abstract
We propose an artificial market model based on deterministic agents. The agents modify their ask/bid price depending on past price changes. The temporal development of market price fluctuations is calculated numerically. A probability density function of market price changes has power law tails. Autocorrelation coefficient of the changes has an anti-correlation, and autocorrelation coefficient of squared changes (volatility correlation function) has a long time correlation. A probability density function of intervals between successive trading follows a geometric distribution. GARCH type stochastic process is theoretically derived from this market model in a limit case. We discuss factors of the market price fluctuations and a relation between the volatility of the market prices and a demand-supply curve. We conclude that the power law tails and the long time volatility result from mechanism of the GARCH type stochastic process.
