In this paper, we propose a new architecture to study artificial stock markets. This architecture rests on a mechanism called "school" which is a procedure for mapping the phenotype to the genotype or, in plain English, to uncover the secret of success. We propose an agent-based model of school,...

This paper extends the N -person IPD game into a more interesting one in economics: the oligopoly game. Due to its dynamics of market share, the oligopoly game is more complicated and need not be exactly an N -person IPD game. Using genetic algorithms, we simulate oligopoly games under various...

This study collected literature on augmented reality (AR) from academic and patent databases to plot the historic development trajectory of AR and forecast its future research and development trends. A total of 3193 and 13,629 papers were collected from academic and patent databases,...

A number of theoretical studies have explained the existence of arbitrage opportunity with so called ¡§noise traders¡¨ (e.g., De Long et al., 1990; Shleifer and Vishny, 1997; Abreu and Brunnermeier, 2002). In fact, noise traders can create the arbitrage opportunity because they are quite influential...

Both laboratory and field evidence suggest that people tend to voluntarily incur costs to punish non-cooperators. While costly punishment typically reduces the average payoff as well as promotes cooperation. Why does the costly punishment evolve? We study the role of punishment in cooperation...

The BoltzmannGibbs distribution is currently widely used in economic modeling. One of the applications is integrated with the DSGE (Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium) model. However, a question that arises concerns whether the BoltzmannGibbs distribution can be directly applied, without...

We construct an agent-based New Keynesian DSGE model with different social network structures to investigate the significance of network topologies to macroeconomic stability. According to our simulation results, we find that the more liquid the information flow, the higher the stability of the...

In this paper, the authors continue the pursuit of the self-coordination mechanism as studied in the El Farol Bar problem. However, in addition to efficiency (the optimal use of the public facility), they are also interested in the distribution of the public resources among all agents. Hence,...
