From Animal to Machine Spirits
From Animal to Machine Spirits Abstract Modern financial markets operate as complex adaptive systems populated by human and algorithmic agents interacting under microsecond latencies and codified microstructure rules. We argue that neoclassical equilibrium models cannot account for two endogenous regimes now characteristic of these markets: resonant miscoordination (e.g., the 2010 Flash Crash) and synthetic trust […]
