  • Athens and Lisbon Stock Markets: a Thermodynamic Approach
    Athens and Lisbon Stock Markets: A thermodynamic approach A.GKRANAS, V.L.RENDOUMIS, H.M.POLATOGLOU Physics Department Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Thessaloniki GR-54124 Greece Abstract: - In this work, we present the results of our analysis in the stock markets of Greece and Portugal. We recognize exponential laws at both Athens Stock Exchange General Index (GD) and Lisbon’s Main Index. This fact stimulates us to apply formalisms taken from physics about the study of macroscopic properties. Especially, we introduce the implication of Newton’s law of cooling on these markets. The satisfying fit leads us to express a thermodynamic approach, in our effort to understand such complex behaviors. Keywords: - econophysics, Athens Stock Exchange, Lisbon Stock Exchange, Newton’s cooling law. 1 Introduction A lot of things have changed in economics in the last 15 years. Quantitative research is now the rule and not the exception as quants, quantitative analysts, often with interdisciplinary background are day by day more and more important in financial institutions and banking foundations. In these recent years a lot of scientists from the field of physics started to study social systems and mostly systems of economy trying to apply methods and formalisms developed for years in their field. This effort was successful, since now days direct access to high- frequency data (on the scale of seconds) not only for stocks, currencies or interest rates, but also for more exotic markets such as option markets, energy markets, weather derivatives, etc. is the rule. So, any statistical model, or theoretical idea, can and must be tested against available Fig.

The routes from the old Kingdom of Asturias were the first to take the pilgrims to Santiago. The coastal route was as busy as the other, older pilgrims’ ways long before the Spanish monarchs proclaimed the French Way to be the ideal route, and provided a link for the Christian kingdoms in the North of the Iberian Peninsula. This endorsement of the French Way did not, however, bring about the decline of the Asturian and Galician pilgrimage routes, as the stretch of the route from León to Oviedo enjoyed even greater popularity from the late 11th century onwards. The Northern Route is not a local coastal road for the sole use of the Asturians living along the Alfonso II the Chaste. shoreline. This medieval route gave rise to an Liber Testamenctorum (s.

S de Compostela, the most fabled city in the autonomous region of Galicia in north-west Spain, is the fulcrum of our imaginative trajectory from Palermo to Tunis, but paradoxically an end point for most late medieval travelers, the place where they turned around and went home again. The medieval pilgrimage route had as its goal the purported relics and tomb of the apostle St James the Elder, supposedly long forgotten in Spain where James had preached before his martyrdom in Palestine in .
