Research Questions<br />

What moves stock prices<br />

• Origins <strong>of</strong> the stylised facts observed at intra-day, daily, etc. level<br />

• H0: traders' strategies Or rather the market microstructure<br />

• We go down to the basic, atomic interactions: trades<br />

• We find that high-frequency stylised facts can be recovered with a<br />

disequilibrium model <strong>of</strong> Zero-Intelligence agents, and explained by<br />

uninformed demand shifts<br />

What sets price levels<br />

• H0: Information only Or rather endogenous factors<br />

• Do prices converge to, and reflect, a fund. value (EMH)<br />

• Yes if this fundamental value is common knowledge<br />

• Otherwise, conventions can emerge and get destabilised<br />

endogenously (SRMH)<br />
