Evolving Long Run Investors In A Short Run World Blake LeBaron International Business School Brandeis University Computational Economics and Finance, 2004 University of Amsterdam

The Importance of Short Horizon Traders  Replicating empirical features  Behavioral evolution  Crash dynamics

“My favorite holding period is forever.” Warren Buffett

Overview  Introduction Short memory traders Finance facts Agent-based financial markets  Computer experiments Calibration Crash dynamics Meta traders and survival Heterogeneity  Future

Short Memory Traders  Who are they?  Behavioral connections  Early clues

Who Are Short Memory Traders?  Use small past histories in decision making  Short memory versus short horizon

“Our proprietary portfolio of New Economy stocks was up over 80.2% in 1998!” “At this rate, $10,000 turns into $3.4 million in 10 years or less!”

Behavioral Connections  Gambler’s fallacy/Law of small numbers  Examples Hot hands Mutual funds Technical trading  Is this really irrational? Econometrics and regime changes Constant gain learning Cooling and annealing

Early Clues on the Importance of Memory and Time  Agent-based stock markets Levy, Levy, and Solomon (1994) Santa Fe Artificial Stock Market (1997)  Practitioners Olsen, Dacoragna, Müller, Pictet(1992) Peters(1994)

Financial Puzzles  Volatility  Equity premium  Predictability (Dividend/Price Ratios)  Trading volume Level and persistence  Volatility persistence GARCH  Large moves/crashes Excess kurtosis Arifovic Brock and Hommes Levy et al. Lux SFI Market and many others

Agent-based Financial Markets  Many autonomous agents  Endogenous heterogeneity  Emergent macro features Correlations and coordination  Bounded rationality

Bounded Rationality  Why? Computational limitations Environmental complexity  Behavioral connections Psychological biases Simple, robust heuristics

Desired Features  Parsimony  Calibration Multiple features Multiple time horizons  Reasonable irrationality  Benchmarks

Overview  Introduction Short memory traders Finance facts Agent-based financial markets  Computer experiments Calibration Crash dynamics Meta traders and survival  Future

Computer Experiments  Quick description “Calibrating an agent-based financial market”  Results Calibration Crashes Meta-traders and noise traders

Agents Portfolio Rules Market

Assets  Equity Risky dividend (Weekly U.S. Data)  Annual growth = 1.7%, std. = 5.4% Fixed supply (1 share)  Risk free Infinite supply Constant interest: 0% per year

Agents  500 Agents  Intertemporal log utility (CRRA) Consume constant fraction of wealth Myopic portfolio decisions  Decide on different portfolio strategies using different memory lengths

Rules/Investment advisors  250 Rules Investment advisor/mutual fund  Information converted to portfolio weights  Information Lagged returns Dividend/price ratios Price momentum  Neural network structure Portfolio weight = f(info(t))

Rules as Dynamic Strategies Time 0 1 Portfolio weight f(info(t))

Portfolio Decision  Maximize expected log portfolio returns  Estimate over memory length history  Restrictions No borrowing No short sales

Heterogeneous Memories ( Long versus Short Memory) Return History 2 years 5 years 6 months Past Future Present

Wealth Dynamics Memory ShortLong

Agent Rule Selection  Each period: Agents evaluate rules with probability 0.10  Choose “challenger” rule from rule set  Evaluate using agent’s memory  Switch probability determined from discrete choice logistic function

Rule Structure In Use Unused

New Rules/Learning  Genetic algorithm  Replace rules not in use  Parent set = rules in use  Modify neural network weights Mutation Crossover Reinitialize

Trading  Rules chosen  Demand = f(p)  Numerically clear market  Temporary equilibrium

Homogeneous Equilibrium  Agents hold 100 percent equity  Price is proportional to dividend Price/dividend constant  Useful benchmark

Computer Experiments  Calibrate dividend to U.S. Aggregates Random Walk + Drift  Time period = 1 week  Simulation = 25,000 weeks (480 years)

Two Experiments  All Memory Memory uniform 1/2-60 years  Long Memory Memory uniform years

Annual Excess Return Summary Statistics All MemoryS&P Mean6.8%5.8% Std.21%18% Sharpe Ratio Kurtosis

Crash Dynamics  Rule dispersion Fraction of rules in use  Trading volume

Price and Rule Dispersion

Price and Trading Volume

Crash Dynamics Short memory enter Build up cash Diversity falls Consumption unsustainable

Meta Traders and Noise Trading  Compare buy and hold strategy to current rule population  Log utility versus risk neutral

Buy and Hold Comparison

Result Summary  Empirical features  Crash dynamics  Evolutionary stability Short memory agents difficult to drive out Noise trader risk

Convergence Mechanisms  Eliminate short memory traders  Risk neutral objective  Eliminate crash data points

Future  This model  Validation  Policy  Finance and beyond

This Model  Multi-asset markets  Interest rates  Consumption  Asynchronous events

Validation  Parameters Sensitivity Endogenize  Extreme events  Experimental comparisons  Prediction

Policy  Trading policies Trading mechanisms Trading halts/limits  Monetary policy and asset markets FX interventions  Social security experiments  Benchmark irrational models

Finance and Beyond  Heterogeneity, noise, and stability  Out of equilibrium strategies and convergence  Behavioral tests Aggregation Evolution

Final Thought  Time Many horizons  Noise Noise dynamics Endogenous correlations
