Abstract:

We investigate the fluctuation behaviors of financial stock markets by Zipf analysis. In the present paper, the empirical research is made to describe ensembles and specifics of stock price returns for global stock indices, and the corresponding Zipf distributions are given. First we study the fluctuation behavior of global stock markets by ( 𠑚 , 𠑘 ) -Zipf method. Then we consider a dynamic stock price model, and we analyze the absolute frequencies and the relative frequencies for this financial model. Further, the Zipf distributions of returns for SSE Composite Index are studied for different time scales.
