The microscopic simulation of financial markets [electronic resource]
להגדלת הטקסט להקטנת הטקסט- ספר
Microscopic Simulation (MS) uses a computer to represent and keep track of individual (""microscopic"") elements in order to investigate complex systems which are analytically intractable. A methodology that was developed to solve physics problems, MS has been used to study the relation between microscopic behavior and macroscopic phenomena in systems ranging from those of atomic particles, to cars, animals, and even humans. In finance, MS can help explain, among other things, the effects of various elements of investor behavior on market dynamics and asset pricing. It is these issues in parti
