Abstract
This paper proposes an agent model of financial markets and analyzes factors leading to speculative bubbles and speculative chaos of the asset price. A financial market is thought to contain two typical types of traders: fundamentalists and chartists who try to maximize their utility. It is shown that the nonlinearity of the excess demand functions, which are derived as a result of the traders' utility maximization, might generate speculative bubbles and speculative chaos of the asset price.
