Differences of Opinion Make a Horse Race
基于交易者意见分歧构建投机市场模型,解释价格与成交量关系及时间序列特征,发现价格变化绝对值与成交量正相关、价格变化负自相关、成交量正自相关。
A model of trading in speculative markets is developed based on differences of opinion among traders. Our purpose is to explain some of the empirical regularities that have been documented concerning the relationship between volume and price and the time-series properties of price and volume. We assume that traders share common prior beliefs and receive common information but differ in the way in which they interpret this information. Some results are that absolute price changes and volume are positively correlated, consecutive price changes exhibit negative serial correlation, and volume is positively autocorrelated.
