Dumb software agents on an experimental asset market
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have analyzed the impact of agents and their trading strategies on an experimental asset market. To this end, we added an XML-interface to an existing electronic market and implemented artificial agents which acted as elements of disturbance in the trading process. These artificial traders applied simple and constant strategies which may sometimes appear to be „rational“ or random to the eyes of other traders. We then recorded the reaction of the electronic market.

Dumb Software Agents on an Experimental Asset Market
In this paper a simulation is presented, where programmed traders compete on a market implemented by a double auction market institution. To this end, we added a XML-interface to an Iowa-style asset market system and implemented a collection of programmed traders with pure and simple strategies. The implementation and the simple simulation presented in this paper represent the starting point to...
متن کاملTowards a new model of speculative bubbles: nonparametric test with an application to the Tunisian Stock Index
Bubbles in asset prices have fascinated researchers in finance. Identify asset bubbles, by circumstances, on the stock market has been a growing number of research theoretical and empirical. On a theoretical level, it was assumed that the price dynamics reflect irrational behavior of economic agents and, therefore, should be excluded from a deal with the truly rational economic agents Burmeiste...
متن کاملAgent Risk Management in Electronic Markets Using Option Derivatives
In this thesis I present a framework for intelligent software agents to manage risk in electronic marketplaces using Option Derivatives. To compare the performance of agents that trade Option Derivatives with agents not using them, I create a simulation of a financial marketplace in which software agents are vested with decision rules for buying and selling assets and Options. The motivation of...
متن کاملCooperative Agent Systems: Artificial Agents Play the Ultimatum Game
We explore computational approaches for artificial agents to play the ultimatum game. We compare our agents’ behavior with that predicted by classical game theory, as well as behavior found in experimental (or behavioral) economics investigations. In particular, we study the following questions: How do artificial agents perform in playing the ultimatum game against fixed rules, dynamic rules, a...
متن کاملDevelopment and testing of an artificial stock market
In this paper, an artificial financial market based on heterogeneous agents is presented. The proposed market is composed of traders with limited amount of cash, one traded asset and a centralized mechanism, the market maker, matching buy and sell orders. The price formation process is given by the intersection of the demand and the supply curve. The artificial financial market has been impleme...
