Stock market activity and hormonal cycles

Alexander Bershadskii

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: It is shown that the 8 weeks cycle and self-organized criticality at stock markets may have a biological origin related to a 4 weeks hormonal cycle. Threshold triggering mechanism of decision making is responsible for the period doubling (8 weeks instead of 4 weeks) and for the self-organized criticality. The hormonal cycle and the self-organized criticality can serve as stabilizing factors for the stock market fluctuations dynamic.
