Abstract
The volatility of stock prices is difficult to explain within the confines of rational pricing models. Changes in prices have become permanent; Therefore, as we keep the hypothesis of a rational behavior of agents, we must give a new explanation to the pricing of financial assets at any moment of time. In a model based on an original mathematical framework, we introduce persistent time-varying prices resulting from strategic interactions between rational agents. We demonstrate that in a close to equilibrium market, actual prices give the best approximation of the fundamental value; We also explain why, in some circumstances, rational behavior may lead to the development of a bubble or the surge of a financial crisis.
