Short-term equity dynamics and endogenous market fluctuations

Probability 2008-12-02 v2 Dynamical Systems Optimization and Control Statistical Finance

Abstract

We present a model that investigates the spontaneous emergence of randomness in equity market microstructure. The phase space analysis of our model exposes an endogenous source of fluctuation in price and volume. We formulate a control problem for maximizing price regularity and stability while minimizing entanglement with the market, representing the NYSE specialists' affirmative obligation to maintain `fair and orderly markets'.
