Macroscopic properties of equity markets: stylized facts and portfolio performance
Macroscopic properties of equity markets affect the performance of active equity strategies but many are not adequately captured by conventional models of financial mathematics and econometrics. Using the CRSP Database of the US equity market, we study empirically several macroscopic properties defined in terms of market capitalizations and returns, and highlight a list of stylized facts and open questions motivated in part by stochastic portfolio theory. Additionally, we present a systematic backtest of the diversity-weighted portfolio under various configurations and study its performance in relation to macroscopic quantities. All of our results can be replicated using codes made available on our online repository.

Revisiting Cont's Stylized Facts for Modern Stock Markets
In 2001, Rama Cont introduced a now-widely used set of 'stylized facts' to synthesize empirical studies of financial price changes (returns), resulting in 11 statistical properties common to a large set of assets and mar…
Time SeriesStudy of Stylized Facts in Stock Market Data
A property of data which is common across a wide range of instruments, markets and time periods is known as stylized empirical fact in the financial statistics literature. This paper first presents a wide range of styliz…
Time SeriesStochastic model of financial markets reproducing scaling and memory in volatility return intervals
We investigate the volatility return intervals in the NYSE and FOREX markets. We explain previous empirical findings using a model based on the interacting agent hypothesis instead of the widely-used efficient market hyp…
International Financial Markets Through 150 Years: Evaluating Stylized Facts
In the theory of financial markets, a stylized fact is a qualitative summary of a pattern in financial market data that is observed across multiple assets, asset classes and time horizons. In this article, we test a set …
Stylized Facts and Agent-Based Modeling
The existence of stylized facts in financial data has been documented in many studies. In the past decade the modeling of financial markets by agent-based computational economic market models has become a frequently used…
