PHYSICS TODAYThis introductory treatment describes parallels between statistical physics and finance, both long established and new research results on capital markets. Forming the core of Voit's treatment are the concepts of random walks, scaling of data, and risk control. Voit discusses the underlying assumptions using empirical financial data and analogies to physical models such as fluid flows and turbulence. He formulates theories of derivative pricing and risk control, and shows how computer simulations of markets provide insights into price fluctuations and how crashes are modelled in ways analogous to phase transitions. This corrected edition has been updated with several new...
