The London Institute’s papers are the official record of our discoveries. They allow others to build on and apply our work. Each one is the result of many months of research, so we strive to make them clear, inspiring and beautiful, and publish them in leading journals.

Memory effects in stock dynamics

The likelihood of stock prices bouncing on specific values increases due to memory effects in the time series data of the price dynamics.
