Abstract:

Financial markets bring buyers and sellers together on the trading floor by revealing distinct patterns of exchange over time. To study the temporal evolution of such dyadic exchange patterns from a network perspective, we propose a Bayesian longitudinal extension of the modeling framework for relational data by Holland and Leinhardt (1981). The model focuses on dyadic patterns of exchange and assumes a log-linear specification based on individual main effects and time-specific second-order effects. As output from the model, we obtain individual trajectories for the tendency to relate with any other node, and overall trajectories for the tendencies to connect with others and reciprocate their actions. We estimate the model by an appropriate MCMC algorithm. The proposed approach is illustrated through the analysis of the temporal evolution of individual trading behaviors in the European interbank market over a period of ten years including the Global Financial Crisis.
