  • Abstract
    Standard financial theory includes a rigorous theoretical system for equilibrium asset pricing. Among the assumptions this system is founded on is the necessity of investors´ homogeneity and rationality. The proposed agent-based model accounts for interactions between irrational and rational investors, expanding on existing work and offering hope for irrational-investor survival in artificial stock markets.
