              AN AGENT-BASED MODEL OF INTERACTING MARKETS


  With the increase in available computational power, agent-based
  economic models have grown in prominence as a supplement to analytic 
  models and empirical studies. I will describe an agent-based discrete-
  time model of interacting consumer and financial markets.  The two 
  markets are linked through the behavior of boundedly-rational, 
  learning firms. The firms compete in the consumer market, and try to 
  satisfy both their customers and their shareholders. The model also 
  includes stock traders and simple consumers. I will give an overview 
  of the model, discuss validation and model exploration methods, and 
  show how the model can be used to investigate stock-option-based 
  management compensation.
