Using the recent work of Hartelman, van der Maas, and Wagenmakers, we demonstrate the use of invariant stochastic catastrophe models in finance for modeling net flows (the difference between purchases and redemptions of fund shares) of U.S. mutual funds. We validate Goetzmann et al. and others' work concerning the importance of sentiment variables on stock fund flows. We also answer some of the questions Goetzmann et al. and Brown et al. pose at the end of their respective papers. We end with possible experiments for experimental economists and sociophysicists.
