4. Key result
Market dynamics In a dynamic market model, temporal evolution of the market is studied
System dynamics is a useful tool in cases where the market behavior is so complex that it is
impractical or not even meaningful to use simple analytic tools
As with all simulation methods, system dynamics will not provide us with general solutions and
general insight into the problem
The use of interacting agents is another simulation method that may be used to study the evolution
of the market.
In this text, we shall only look at some simple market models where analytic solutions exist, and
from which, important conclusions can be drawn
The parameter may depend on both time and the number of players already playing the game; that
is, there may be a positive feedback from the market or a network effect encouraging new players
to enter the game;

5. Finding
The latency times and the time it takes the market to increase from 50% to 60% for different
feedback strengths are compared
