Abstract:
We use quantum mechanical methods to model the price dynamics in
the financial market mathematically. We propose describing behavioral financial
factors using the pilot-wave (Bohmian) model of quantum mechanics.
The real price trajectories are determined (via the financial analogue
of the second Newton law) by two financial potentials:
the classical-like potential V(q)V(q) (“hard” market conditions) and the quantumlike potential U(q)U(q) (behavioral market conditions).
Keywords:
quantum mechanics, financial market, Bohmian mechanics, information pilot wave, nonlinear price dynamics.
