Computational Platforms for Agent-Based Financial Models

This project will construct a broad set of software tools designed to better facilitate the understanding and comparative features of various types of agent-based finical markets.  These tools should form a computational foundation for researchers interested in getting started in the field and for those interested in teaching courses based on agent-based principles.  They should also form a comparative theoretical test bed to better understand what the critical theoretical features are and how they impact our broader understanding of actual market dynamics.
