  • Alessandro Beber

Abstract

Lo studio e l'interpretazione del comportamento manifestato dai mercati finanziari non risulta compatibile con i modelli di mercato proposti dall'economia finanziaria. In quanto segue, attraverso una rassegna del dibattito teorico e delle verifiche empiriche, si illustrerà come l'approccio operativo dell'analista tecnico possa fornire promettenti spunti interpretativi, con particolare riferimento alla presenza di elementi di non linearità e di cambio di regime nelle quotazioni
