Sarah Mignot

Sarah Mignot serves as a Scientific Associate at the Chair of Economics, especially Economic Policy within the Faculty of Social and Economic Sciences at Otto-Friedrich University of Bamberg, where she conducts research on financial market dynamics through computational and analytical frameworks.

Her research centers on agent-based modeling of speculative markets, emphasizing nonlinear dynamics, heterogeneous agent interactions, and bounded rationality as drivers of market instabilities. She investigates phenomena including boom-bust cycles, exchange rate fluctuations, and misinformation impacts on asset pricing, employing methodologies that bridge economic theory with complex systems analysis.

Analysis of her 2021-2025 publications reveals a cohesive focus on agent-based financial modeling, with recurring exploration of heterogeneous expectations, chaotic dynamics, and market microstructure across foreign exchange and stock markets. Her work consistently demonstrates how boundedly rational agent interactions generate stylized market facts, primarily through collaboration with Frank Westerhoff in high-impact computational economics journals.
