Hierarchical causality in financial economics

Abstract
Hierarchical analysis is considered and a multilevel model is presented in order to explore causality, chance and complexity in financial economics. A coupled system of models is used to describe multilevel interactions, consistent with market data: the lowest level is occupied by agents generating the prices of individual traded assets; the next level entails aggregation of stocks into markets; the third level combines shared risk factors with information variables and bottom-up, agent-generated structure, consistent with conditions for no-arbitrage pricing theory; the fourth level describes market factors which originate in the greater economy and the highest levels are described by regulated market structure and the customs and ethics which define the nature of acceptable transactions. A mechanism for emergence or innovation is considered and causal sources are discussed in terms of five causation classes.
