Abstract

We introduce a model for the dynamics of stock prices based on a non quadratic path integral. The model is a generalization of Ilinski's path integral model, more precisely we choose a different action, which can be tuned to different time scales. The result is a model with a very small number of parameters that provides very good fits of some stock prices and indices fluctuations.
