动态赫斯特指数作为监测金融时间序列不稳定周期的工具

Dynamical Hurst exponent as a tool to monitor unstable periods in financial time series

Raffaello Morales, T. Di Matteo, Ruggero Gramatica, Tomaso Aste

摘要:

我们调查使用的赫斯特指数,动态计算的移动时间窗口,以评估金融公司的稳定性/不稳定性的水平。2007-2010年信贷危机后接受救助的金融公司,在危机爆发前的一段时间内,广义赫斯特指数随时间呈明显上升趋势。相反,属于其他市场部门的公司,在整个危机中受到的影响最小,表现出相反的行为。这些研究结果表明,使用缩放行为作为工具来跟踪一个公司的稳定性水平的可能性。在本文中,我们介绍了一种方法来计算广义赫斯特指数,赋予更大的权重,最近的事件相对于旧的。这样,遥远过去的大波动就不太可能影响最近的过去。我们还研究了与对数收益率分布的尾部相关的标度,并将此标度与与赫斯特指数相关的标度进行比较,观察到这些公司的价格动态过程是真正的多标度。

英文摘要:

We investigate the use of the Hurst exponent, dynamically computed over a moving time-window, to evaluate the level of stability/instability of financial firms. Financial firms bailed-out as a consequence of the 2007-2010 credit crisis show a neat increase with time of the generalized Hurst exponent in the period preceding the unfolding of the crisis. Conversely, firms belonging to other market sectors, which suffered the least throughout the crisis, show opposite behaviors. These findings suggest the possibility of using the scaling behavior as a tool to track the level of stability of a firm. In this paper, we introduce a method to compute the generalized Hurst exponent which assigns larger weights to more recent events with respect to older ones. In this way large fluctuations in the remote past are less likely to influence the recent past. We also investigate the scaling associated with the tails of the log-returns distributions and compare this scaling with the scaling associated with the Hurst exponent, observing that the processes underlying the price dynamics of these firms are truly multi-scaling.
