Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will focus on the very important topic of high fluctuations and large opportunities for profit-making by speculation in modern financial assets. The preponderant issue of highly volatile investment assets that present asymmetries, non-linearities, exponential, threshold and other forms of non-ordinary volatility is under scrutiny. The risk–return trade-off will be under scrutiny for a vast range of financial assets, as will opportunities for excess returns during financial crises, as well as in normal conditions. Special emphasis will be put on the behavioural aspects of finance, such as mimicking behaviour, herding phenomena and the overall irrationality that results in bubble creation in financial markets. The hot topic of irrationality in investment decision-making that leads to extremely unstable returns will cast further light on the behavioural characteristics of investors during special, as well as normal, economic and financial conditions. This will provide a roadmap for further development of asset pricing and forecasting during the highly evolutionary era of information nowadays
