A spin model for the dynamical behavior of the financial market
Abstract
A semi-empirical statistical physics model for the dynamical behavior of stock prices in Sri Lankan financial market was analyzed. In this model, the time evolution of a collective set of stock prices was analyzed using the Hamiltonian of a nearest neighbor Ising model. Monte Carlo simulations were performed and resultant stylized features of the corresponding system were discussed.Downloads
