By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Technology News Focus -- Fresh data on Economics - Computational Economics are presented in a new report. According to news reporting from Taoyuan, Taiwan, by VerticalNews journalists, research stated, “This paper develops a utility-based heterogeneous agent model for empirically investigating intraday traders’ behaviors. Two types of agents, which consist of fundamental traders and technical analysts, are considered in the proposed model.”
Funders for this research include Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan, Chang Gung University.
The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from the Lunghwa University of Science and Technology, “They differ in the expectation of future asset returns and the perceived risk. This paper incorporates the unique characteristics of high-frequency data into the model for the purpose of having a reliable and accurate empirical result. In particular, a two-test procedure is developed to test the market fractions hypothesis that distinguishes the heterogeneous agent model from the representative agent model. The proposed heterogeneous agent model is estimated on the Taiwan Stock Exchange data. The results suggest that fundamental traders expect the correction of over- or under-pricing in the future. Technical analysts act as contrarian traders. Technical analysts also believe that buyer-initiated (seller-initiated) trading will further raise (lower) future prices. The bid-ask spread has a crucial effect on the investment risk for the technical analysts.”
According to the news reporters, the research concluded: “Moreover, technical analysts are short-sighted, have less market fraction, but perform slightly better.”
