These ideas include recent research in market microstructure, liquidity, post-Keynesian pricing theory as well as the work of Foley, Keen, Smithers, Shiller, Cooper, Pettis, Pepper & Oliver, Mehrling, Lyons and others. Neoclassical economics, while forming an intellectually beautiful framework, has prov

rom top to bottom. But this still results in a distribution with a large bias giving most of the wealth to a minority of individuals. Going back to the Lotka-Volterra and GLV models discussed in section 1.2, it is better to abandon the predator-prey model of foxes killing rabbits, and instead think in terms of a '

hree factor' model. This then becomes much more significant at the level of the whole stockmarket, especially in the light of the extensive work by Shiller and Smithers regarding the long-term valuation of stock markets. This work is very well summed up in 'Wall Street Revalued' [Smithers 2009]. The ce

Given the mean reversion properties of the market as per Shiller and Smithers, liquidity protection of this type should be cheap at historical liquidity lows, but increasingly expensive as liquidity bubbles formed

Ultimately this maths f

Some of the more thoughtful financiers, people such as Pettis, Shiller, Smithers, Cooper, Pepper & Oliver have then made insightful attempts to explain why these rules of thumb work in practice. In the field of market

this is a chaotic model, not a stochastic one. There is no stochasticity in this model. All fluctuations in the model are created endogenously from the Lotka-Volterra like differential equations in the model. Figure 4.3.4 shows the detail of couple of cycles.
