Some politics and statistical physics behind Sri Lankan stock market crashes
Abstract
We also propose a modelling approach via which we illustrate the critical crashes in the market are not unusual phenomena when the market is modeled as a system in statistical physics, where we employ a version of Deridda's Random Energy Model Derrida (1980), Derrida (1997) applied to the price uctuations in the nancial market.
