Exogenous and endogenous crashes as phase transitions in complex financial systems (2012)
Journal Article
Fry, J. (2012). Exogenous and endogenous crashes as phase transitions in complex financial systems. European Physical Journal B : Condensed Matter and Complex Systems, 85, Article 405. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjb/e2012-30234-8

In this paper we provide a unifying framework for a set of seemingly disparate models for exogenous and endogenous shocks in complex financial systems. Markets operate by balancing intrinsic levels of risk and return. This remains true even in the mi...
