Abstract

Evolutionary Finance (EF) explores financial markets as evolving biological systems. Investors pursuing diverse investment strategies compete for the market capital. Some "survive" and some "become extinct". A central goal is to identify evolutionary stable (in one sense or another) investment strategies. The problem is analyzed in a framework combining stochastic dynamics and evolutionary game theory. Most of the models currently considered in EF assume that asset payo¤s are exogenous and depend only on the underlying stochastic process of states of the world. The present work develops a model where the payo¤s are endogenous: they depend on the share of total market wealth invested in the asset.
