Abstract

An agent-based model is a computer simulation driven by the individual decisions of programmed agents. Such models provide a promising alternative to traditional economic modeling in that they can fully capture the diversity of agents and the institutional detail of the underlying an economic system. In this paper, we provide a brief methodological review of the agent-based approach to modeling financial markets. We review the research strategy, which is organized into a discussion of formulation, implementation, verification and validation. We conclude the paper with a review of the domain focusing on modeling market participants and market institutions.
