Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a practical guide to Agent Based economic modeling, adopting a “learning by doing” approach to help the reader master the fundamental tools needed to create and analyze Agent Based models. After providing them with a basic “toolkit” for Agent Based modeling, it present and discusses didactic models of real financial and economic systems in detail. While stressing the main features and advantages of the bottom-up perspective inherent to this approach, the book also highlights the logic and practical steps that characterize the model building procedure. A detailed description of the underlying codes, developed using R and C, is also provided. In addition, each didactic model is accompanied by exercises and applications designed to promote active learning on the part of the reader. Following the same approach, the book also presents several complementary tools required for the analysis and validation of the models, such as sensitivity experiments, calibration exercises, economic network and statistical distributions analysis. By the end of the book, the reader will have gained a deeper understanding of the Agent Based methodology and be prepared to use the fundamental techniques required to start developing their own economic models. Accordingly, “Economics with Heterogeneous Interacting Agents” will be of particular interest to graduate and postgraduate students, as well as to academic institutions and lecturers interested in including an overview of the AB approach to economic modeling in their courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial market has been extensively recognized as a complex system, where large number of heterogeneous agents contribute to price formation of asset. Interactions and adaptations of these agents form the core foundation of market operations and its resultant characteristic properties. These market agents are highly diverse in their perception of the world around them and in the way they respond to it. Various studies of statistical properties of financial markets and price fluctuations have revealed a rich set of typical characteristics knows as stylized facts. Agent-based models that can reproduce these stylized facts and explain the roots of complex dynamics of financial market have been subject of intense research in recent time. The Minority Game Model proposed by Challet and Zhang is one such model that presents a simplified paradigm of financial market. Another model proposed by Lux and Marchesi offers a different perspective to agent-based modeling, where parallels are drawn between the physical system with a large number of interacting units and financial markets. The Minority Game model succeeds to a certain extent in reproducing stylized facts and explaining behavioral foundation of it. However, in attempt to present a simplified picture of market scenario both these models make certain assumptions that dilute the heterogeneity aspect of the real market. In real world markets, agents are truly diverse in their thinking, strategy, action and analyzing ability. Due to these unrealistic assumptions, the model can be validated only with a very limited spectrum of parameters. Also, it's difficult to point out precisely which aspects of the game contribute to some of the stylized facts producible with the model. To improve on these issues, we have developed a model and a simulator based on modified minority game, which we are referring to as "adapted minority game." The main focus of our research is on improving the heterogeneity aspect of agents, their interactions, and bringing fundamental value of asset into the Minority Game model. Our model introduces fundamentalist agents into the minority game model and also allows agents to have different historical memory and time horizons. Furthermore, agents are free to switch from one trading strategy group to another to improve their chances of performing better. Reproducing the stylized facts still remains the benchmark for validating our model. Our adapted minority game succeeds to an extent in expanding the spectrum of parameters that can be used for modeling the market. Agents' interactions and adaptations have been tracked down to the basis of stylized facts. An interesting property of periodic volatility is successfully demonstrated with our model.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reconciles the existence of technical trading with the Efficient Market Hypothesis. By analyzing a well-known agent-based model, the Santa Fe Institute Artificial Stock Market (SFI-ASM), it finds that when selective forces are weak, financial evolution cannot guarantee that only the fittest trading rules will survive. Its main contribution lies in the application of standard results from population genetics which have widely been neglected in the agent-based community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies on financial markets have accumulated consistent evidences of stylized facts and anomalies, which can be characterized by stochastic switching among different co-existing market states but yet difficult to reconcile with traditionally rational expectation theory. When agents are heterogeneous and boundedly rational, recent developments on the role of the adaptive behavior of interacting heterogeneous agents in financial markets have provided a nonlinear dynamics channel to such co-existence of different market states, shedding light into these stylized facts and anomalies. This survey focuses on the nonlinear dynamics approach to model the feedback of evolutionary dynamics of heterogeneous agents and to characterize the underlying mechanisms of the stylized facts and anomalies in financial markets, of which the authors and several coauthors have contributed in several papers.

This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 785 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Computational Economics and Finance provides a survey of both the foundations of and recent advances in the frontiers of analysis and action. It is both historically and interdisciplinarily rich and also tightly connected to the rise of digital society. It begins with the conventional view of computational economics, including recent algorithmic development in computing rational expectations, volatility, and general equilibrium. It then moves from traditional computing in economics and finance to recent developments in natural computing, including applications of nature-inspired intelligence, genetic programming, swarm intelligence, and fuzzy logic. Also examined are recent developments of network and agent-based computing in economics. How these approaches are applied is examined in chapters on such subjects as trading robots and automated markets. The last part deals with the epistemology of simulation in its trinity form with the integration of simulation, computation, and dynamics. Distinctive is the focus on natural computationalism and the examination of the implications of intelligent machines for the future of computational economics and finance. Not merely individual robots, but whole integrated systems are extending their "immigration" to the world of Homo sapiens, or symbiogenesis.

Book excerpt: During last decades, studies on asset pricing models witnessed a paradigm shift from rational expectation and representative agent to an alternative, behavioral view, where agents are heterogeneous and boundedly rational. In this paper, we model the financial market as an interaction of two types of boundedly rational investors -fundamentalists and chartists. We examine the dynamics of the market price and market behavior, which depend on investors' behavior and the interaction of the two types of investors. Numerical simulations of the corresponding stochastic model demonstrate that the model is able to replicate the stylized facts of financial time series, in particular the long-term dependence (long memory) of asset return volatilities. We further investigate the source of the long memory according to asset pricing mechanism of our model, and provide evidences of long memory by applying the modified R/S analysis. Our results demonstrate that the key parameter that has impact on the long memory is the speed of the price adjustment of the market maker at the equilibrium of demand and supply.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In financial market, one of complex systems, there is highly nonlinear interaction between heterogeneous traders. Due to this nonlinear interaction, emergent behavior, which is so called 'stylized facts' occurs in financial market. To understand impact of interaction between heterogeneous traders in financial market, we propose an agent based model, consisting of heterogeneous agents such as fundamentalist, optimist, and pessimist and interaction between them. Fundamentalist who uses the fundamental value of market play a role of stabilizing market, whereas optimist and pessimist they are called by chartist having an investment strategy dominated by the trend of past price has a role of destabilizing market. Optimist (pessimist) forecasts future price will be larger (smaller) than current price. These three type agents change their own types into other types using herding and relative payoff strategy. We consider the topology of interaction between traders using complex network that are constructed by the regular, random, small world and scale-free network. We find that there were observed 'stylized facts' such as power-law tails and long memory property of volatility in scale free network. These results support that the heterogeneous and power-law scaling of interaction between traders would be the source of 'stylized facts' in financial market.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses situations in which individual agents, who might be different from each other, interact and produce behaviour on the aggregate level which does not correspond to that of the average actor. This leads to aggregate outcomes which would be impossible to explain in a more standard approach. Aggregation generates structure and, as a result, interaction and heterogeneity can be handled and we no longer have to rely on the over-simplified reduction of the behaviour of the economy to that of a "rational" individual.
