Abstract

This study provides a detailed discussion of the C++ implementation of the Trade Network Game (TNG), a computational framework for studying the formation and evolution of trade networks in buyer-seller markets modeled as decentralized systems of autonomous strategically interacting agents with learning capabilities. The source code for this C++ implementation of the TNG is available online as freeware (see site below). Annotated pointers to related resources, including downloads, tutorials, and research publications, can be accessed at the following site: http://www.econ.iastate.edu/tesfatsi/tnghome.htm
