Abstract:
We propose a model for stochastic formation of opinion clusters, modeled by an evolving network, and herd behavior to account for the observed fat-tail distribution in returns of financial-price data. The only parameter of the model is h, the rate of information dispersion per trade, which is a measure of herding behavior. For h below a critical h* the system displays a power-law distribution of the returns with exponential cutoff. However, for h>h* an increase in the probability of large returns is found and may be associated with the occurrence of large crashes. © 2000 The American Physical Society.
