This paper studies the asymptotic behaviour of an affine stochastic functional differential equation modelling the evolution of the cumulative return of a risky security. In the model, the traders of the security determine their investment strategy by comparing short-and long-run moving averages of the security's returns. We show that the cumulative returns either obey the Law of the Iterated Logarithm, but have dependent increments, or exhibit asymptotic behaviour that can be interpreted as a runaway bubble or crash.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 91B26, 91B70, 34K50, 34K25 JEL Classification: G14
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
