Fundamental analysisFundamental analysis, in accounting and finance, is the analysis of a business's financial statements (usually to analyze the business's assets, liabilities, and earnings); health; and competitors and markets. It also considers the overall state of the economy and factors including interest rates, production, earnings, employment, GDP, housing, manufacturing and management. There are two basic approaches that can be used: bottom up analysis and top down analysis.
ComportementLe terme « comportement » désigne les actions d'un être vivant. Il a été introduit en psychologie française en 1908 par Henri Piéron comme équivalent français de l'anglais-américain behavior. On l'utilise notamment en éthologie (humaine et animale) ou en psychologie expérimentale. Il peut aussi être pris comme équivalent de conduite dans l'approche psychanalytique. Le comportement d'un être vivant est la partie de son activité qui se manifeste à un observateur.
Stock market bubbleA stock market bubble is a type of economic bubble taking place in stock markets when market participants drive stock prices above their value in relation to some system of stock valuation. Behavioral finance theory attributes stock market bubbles to cognitive biases that lead to groupthink and herd behavior. Bubbles occur not only in real-world markets, with their inherent uncertainty and noise, but also in highly predictable experimental markets.
Marché (économie)Un marché est l'institution sociale abstraite où se rencontrent l'offre et la demande de biens ou de services. Le marché est ainsi le lieu, physique ou virtuel, où les échanges commerciaux ont lieu. Dans son acception la plus ancienne, un marché est une institution qui accueille un commerce localisé précisément dans l'espace et le temps mais de dimension variable, par exemple les marchés traditionnels, les marchés aux puces et Lloyd's of London.
Analyse économique du droitL’analyse économique du droit (Economic Analysis of Law ou Law and Economics selon l’appellation américaine) est la discipline qui cherche à expliquer les phénomènes juridiques grâce aux méthodes et concepts de la science économique. L’analyse économique du droit emprunte aux disciplines de la théorie juridique et de la science économique pour expliquer d’une nouvelle façon les phénomènes juridiques.
Hypothèse des marchés financiers efficientsL’hypothèse des marchés financiers efficients est une hypothèse utilisée en économie selon laquelle les marchés financiers sont efficients, c'est-à-dire que les prix des actifs reflètent toute l'information disponible au sujet du prix. Si les marchés sont efficients, alors il est impossible de faire mieux que le marché. Les marchés financiers ont fait l'objet d'études académiques visant à déterminer leur caractère efficient ou non.
Stock marketA stock market, equity market, or share market is the aggregation of buyers and sellers of stocks (also called shares), which represent ownership claims on businesses; these may include securities listed on a public stock exchange, as well as stock that is only traded privately, such as shares of private companies which are sold to investors through equity crowdfunding platforms. Investment is usually made with an investment strategy in mind. The total market capitalization of all publicly traded securities worldwide rose from US$2.
Adaptive market hypothesisThe adaptive market hypothesis, as proposed by Andrew Lo, is an attempt to reconcile economic theories based on the efficient market hypothesis (which implies that markets are efficient) with behavioral economics, by applying the principles of evolution to financial interactions: competition, adaptation, and natural selection. This view is part of a larger school of thought known as Evolutionary Economics. Under this approach, the traditional models of modern financial economics can coexist with behavioral models.
Market timingMarket timing is the strategy of making buying or selling decisions of financial assets (often stocks) by attempting to predict future market price movements. The prediction may be based on an outlook of market or economic conditions resulting from technical or fundamental analysis. This is an investment strategy based on the outlook for an aggregate market rather than for a particular financial asset. The efficient-market hypothesis is an assumption that asset prices reflect all available information, meaning that it is theoretically impossible to systematically "beat the market.
Fonction linéaire (analyse)Dans les mathématiques élémentaires, les fonctions linéaires sont parmi les fonctions les plus simples que l'on rencontre. Ce sont des cas particuliers d'applications linéaires. Elles traduisent la proportionnalité. Par exemple, on dira que le prix d'un plein d'essence est fonction linéaire du nombre de litres mis dans le réservoir car : pour zéro litre, on paie zéro euro ; pour un litre, on paie 1,40 euro ; pour 2 litres on paie 2,80 euros ; pour 10 litres on paie 14 euros ; pour 100 litres on paie 140 euros ; et pour N litres, on paie 1,4 × N euros.
Price elasticity of demandA good's price elasticity of demand (, PED) is a measure of how sensitive the quantity demanded is to its price. When the price rises, quantity demanded falls for almost any good, but it falls more for some than for others. The price elasticity gives the percentage change in quantity demanded when there is a one percent increase in price, holding everything else constant. If the elasticity is −2, that means a one percent price rise leads to a two percent decline in quantity demanded.
Cross elasticity of demandIn economics, the cross (or cross-price) elasticity of demand measures the effect of changes in the price of one good on the quantity demanded of another good. This reflects the fact that the quantity demanded of good is dependent on not only its own price (price elasticity of demand) but also the price of other "related" good. The cross elasticity of demand is calculated as the ratio between the percentage change of the quantity demanded for a good and the percentage change in the price of another good, ceteris paribus:The sign of the cross elasticity indicates the relationship between two goods.
