Expectation bubbles and crashes in a simple spin model of markets — •Stefan Bornholdt — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Kiel, Leibnizstr. 15, D-24098 Kiel

A simple spin model of markets is studied which is based on two conflicting interactions: Each spin tends to imitate the strategic choices of its neighbor (buy or sell a certain stock), but also reacts to a global indicator (relative value of the stock). While the first coupling is a directed (ferromagnetic) coupling as in the Ising model, the second interaction is irrational, i.e. it only couples to the size of the relative evaluation (magnetization), thereby increasing the probability of a strategy change, with no preference for a particular choice. This model exhibits a metastable dynamics with intermittency and phases of chaotic dynamics [1]. It reproduces main observations of real economic markets as volatility clustering and power-law distributed returns with exponents beyond the Levy-regime [2].
