  • Abstract
    In order to investigate what induce the stylized facts in financial markets, we built an agent-based financial market model in which agents interacted with their nearest neighbors and can adjust their propensity to be influenced by their neighbors according to trading histories. Agents´ actions are determined by their independent judgments, public news and neighbors´ influence. Simulation results show that the model can reproduce the stylized facts of fat tail and volatility clustering.
