Here are our distinguished speakers
Prof. Juan E. Trinidad
Segovia
I am professor of finances in the
University of Almería, Spain. My research interest is financial markets from
the perspective of complex system. I am also interested in Asset Pricing and
Portfolio Selection.
In the last years I have been
incorporated as a member of the editorial board of relevant financial and
interdisciplinary journals: Humanities and Social Sciences Communications (A
nature Journal), Plos One and Mathematics. I am also the Managing editor of
Studies of Applied Economics.
STOCK MARKETS: A VIEW FROM
COMPLEX SYSTEMS.
The connection between economics,
mathematics and physics is not new. Early in the XVIII century, Bernoulli
introduced the concept of utility in economics. In 1835, Quetelet extended
Laplace ideas to study the existence of patterns in social data. Mandelbort
and Peters developed the Fractal Market hypothesis as a suitable alternative
to the Efficient Market hypothesis. The concepts of fractality,
multifractality and memory have become popular in the last decade between
the financial researchers. During this talk I will make a review of some of
the most valuable contributions of physics to the research in financial
markets and I will analyse the last trends in Econophysics.
