Abstract

The use of artificial agents in the studyof stock markets has aroused much interest in the past two decades. Modelsof markets consisting of agents were built to reinforce or question theoriesin economics – including the principleof ``negative feedback'', the EfficientMarket Hypothesis, and chaos theory.In this article, we review the developmentof these agent models, highlight key design issues and problems,and suggest some directions for future research.
