Studying heterogeneity among fundamentalists in financial markets: a note. (English) Zbl 1286.91151

Summary: In this note, developing a model with agents that act as fundamentalists, we show that adding simple stochastic components, a greater set of parameters can lead to complex dynamics. Moreover, we identify periods of financial distress between bubbles and crashes detected by C. P. Kindleberger [Manias, panics, and crashes: a history of financial crisis. New York, NY: John Wiley (2000), http://openlibrary.org/books/OL21865779M] from a series of famous speculative bubbles and crashes in world history.
