Abstract
We establish a continuous-time heterogeneous beliefs model to discuss the mechanisms of Momentum and Reversal. Price learning, information transmission and extrapolative expectation are incorporated into a unified framework for the Momentum and Reversal. The calibration results from SP500 show that the presence of Extrapolators and Information-driven Traders are important influences of Momentum and Reversal in all phases. We also find that momentum and reversal become significantly stronger as belief weights approach true belief weights.
期刊介绍:
The focus of the North-American Journal of Economics and Finance is on the economics of integration of goods, services, financial markets, at both regional and global levels with the role of economic policy in that process playing an important role. Both theoretical and empirical papers are welcome. Empirical and policy-related papers that rely on data and the experiences of countries outside North America are also welcome. Papers should offer concrete lessons about the ongoing process of globalization, or policy implications about how governments, domestic or international institutions, can improve the coordination of their activities. Empirical analysis should be capable of replication. Authors of accepted papers will be encouraged to supply data and computer programs.
