Heterogeneous agent models for financial markets have provided explanations for many empirical regularities of relatively high frequency (hourly/daily) financial time series. They have been much quieter when it comes to longer range features. This paper examines a simplified computational...

This paper presents a new agent-based financial market. It is designed to be both simple enough to gain insights into the nature and structure of what is going on at both the agent and macro levels, but remain rich enough to allow for many interesting evolutionary experiments. The model is...

This paper considers the impact of heterogeneous gain learning in an asset pricing model. A relatively stylized model is shown to generate persistent swings of asset prices from their fundamental values which replicates long range samples of U.S financial data. The detailed mechanisms of the...
