Why do Hurst exponents of traded value increase as the logarithm of company size?

Author InfoZoltan Eisler Janos Kertesz Abstract The common assumption of universal behavior in stock market data can sometimes lead to false conclusions. In statistical physics, the Hurst exponents characterizing long-range correlations are often closely related to universal exponents. We show, that in the case of time series of the traded value, these Hurst exponents increase logarithmically with company size, and thus are non-universal.

Moreover, the average transaction size shows scaling with the mean transaction frequency for large enough companies. We present a phenomenological scaling framework that properly accounts for such dependencies.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
