A Stopping Rule Model for Exiting Bubble-like Markets with Applications

We present applications of a stochastic changepoint detection model in the context of bubble-like financial markets. The aim is to detect a direction change in a sequence of stock market or other asset index values as soon as it happens. A detection rule thus models an exit strategy in a possible ma...

Description
Summary:We present applications of a stochastic changepoint detection model in the context of bubble-like financial markets. The aim is to detect a direction change in a sequence of stock market or other asset index values as soon as it happens. A detection rule thus models an exit strategy in a possible market crash. We describe theoretical results in Sections 9.2 and apply them to several bubbles including markets in the US, China, Japan and Iceland in Sections 9.3–9.5.
