This paper studies the behavior of price discovery within a context of an agent based stock market in which the twin assumptions namely, rational expectations and the representative agents normally made in mainstream economics, are removed. In this model, traders stochastically update their...

Motivated from the charting analysis in the financial industry, Chen and He (2003) are the first to use self-organizing maps to search for and identify price patterns. Such a model is referred to as the trajectory-domain model (TDM). Chen and Tsao (2003) apply the TDMs to three American stock...

Blume and Easly [1992] show that if agents have the same savings rule, an expected discounted logarithmic utility maximizer with correct beliefs will dominate. If no agent adopts this rule, then agents with incorrect beliefs, but equally averse to risk as logarithmic utility maximizers, may...

In this paper, an agent-based computational capital asset pricing model is applied to address an issue, known as the elasticity puzzle, originating from a famous reciprocal relation between the elasticity of intertemporal substitution (EIS) and the relative risk aversion (RRA) coefficient. By...
