Abstract

The paper presents an artificial financial market designed to analyse market dynamics from the behaviour of investors. The model especially allows highlighting the role of a particular kind of institution in the orientation of market dynamics. The information – delivered by financial intermediaries as rating agencies and considered as a cognitive institution – directs the decisions of investors who are heterogeneous agents endowed with capabilities of learning in a changing environment. We demonstrate that the cognitive institution influences market dynamics as it allows the co-ordination of the decisions of investment in the same direction. The information delivered by rating agencies is clearly a « focal point » for investors and contributes to generate a speculative dynamic on the market.
