MARKET VOLATILITY AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF MEAN CLUSTER SIZES FOR PERCOLATION

The tail of the distribution for the "mean cluster size" (susceptibility) at the site percolation threshold is found by Monte Carlo simulations to be exponential. Similar distributions might be expected for the market volatility, if stock price fluctuations are described by Cont–Bouchaud percolation.
