Financial theories vs. changing realityFinancial theories vs. changing reality

OLD, BUT PERSISTENT:• The moving target problems:

insufficient sequences of statistical data “uncertainty principle” = beliefs/practice changing the market

• Convenience more important than realism (eg CAPM, prevalence of Gaussian distribution, ignoring areas of applicability etc)• “Natural science” approach to social phenomena (major weakness of Econophysics)

NEW, LARGELY UNEXPLORED:• Theoretical background pre-dates the IT-revolution (eg Efficient Market Hypothesis)• Globalization of markets vs. theories based on several developed countries (eg new research: Virginie Konlack and Ivivi Mwaniki – comparing stock markets in Kenya and Canada)• Complexity of financial instruments obscuring risks (eg subprime mortgages vs. CDO’s and the like)

Instead of analysing a d-dimensional time series Xn

We use the d(m+1) dimensional time series

Example: Tests of stationarity Example: Tests of stationarity

Given time series data X(n) calculate the sample covariance

Use the blueprint algorithm to calculate the alleged fluctuations ν+(n)

Normalize: W(n)-1 ν+(n), where W (n) 2=V (n), W (n) -1 is the Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse of W (n) and

Apply a white noise test to the resulting data

Original version: Okabe & Nakano 1991

A weak stationarity test:

( ) ,V n n n

The ABN – test

• If a stochastic process is strictly stationary and P is a Borel function of k variables, then the process

is also strictly stationary • Strict stationarity implies weak statinarity• Given a time series test for breakdown of weak stationarity a large selection of series constructed through polynomial compositions. These new series are part of the information structure of the original one!

Applications:Applications:

• Forecasting• “Extended” stationarity analysis• Causality tests• General adaptive modeling of time series improving on ARCH, GARCH and similar models. • Volatility modelling.
