WHAT IS IT?

Market Rev 8.0 rev 01, 16 August 2006, by Ralph Abraham and Dan Friedman.

This is the baic version of a NetLogo model for financial markets. Further background may be found at www.vismath.org/research/landscapedyn.

This revision has no "climbrate" slider. Instead, it has a "u-step" chooser. This sets the number of substeps in a step. The reciprocal of u-steps plays the role of climbrate.

The "frequency" chooser determines how many steps in a year. The "u-steps" chooser determines the number of substeps in a step. Each manager's choice of strategy, u, is updated at the end of each substep. Then, each manager's portfolio worth, z, is updated at the end of each step.
