Multifractality and sample size influence on Bitcoin volatility patterns

The finite sample effect on the Hurst exponent (HE) of realized volatility time series is examined using Bitcoin data. This study finds that the HE decreases as the sampling period $Δ$ increases and a simple finite sample ansatz closely fits the HE data. We obtain values of the HE as $Δ\rightarrow 0

The Impact of Trump-Era Tariffs on Financial Market Efficiency

This study examines the effects of Trump-era tariffs on financial market efficiency by applying multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis to the return and absolute return time series of six major financial assets: the S&P 500, SSEC, VIX, BTC/USD, EUR/USD, and Gold. Using the Hurst exponent $h(2)

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial market efficiency of price returns, absolute returns, and volatility increment: Evidence from stock and cryptocurrency markets

This study examines the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on market efficiency by analyzing three time series – price returns, absolute returns, and volatility increments – in stock (Deutscher Aktienindex, Nikkei 225, Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE), and Volatility Index) and

Volatility time series modeling by single-qubit quantum circuit learning

We employ single-qubit quantum circuit learning (QCL) to model the dynamics of volatility time series. To assess its effectiveness, we generate synthetic data using the Rational GARCH model, which is specifically designed to capture volatility asymmetry. Our results show that QCL-based volatility pr
