		Financial markets are affected by forces of supply and demand, and allocate resources over time through a price mechanism such as the interest rate.

	Virtual Financial Markets at CBCL
		At the same time, financial markets are an important application area within artificial intelligence for the fields of agent-based modeling and machine learning, since agent objectives and interactions tend to be more clearly defined, both practically and mathematically, in these markets than in other areas.
		Thus, data obtained from artificial market experiments can be compared to the predictions of theoretical models and to data from real-world markets, and the level of control allows one to examine precisely which settings and conditions lead to the deviations from theoretical predictions usually seen in the behavior of real markets.
		The virtual financial markets setting provides a rich and dynamic testbed for ideas from machine learning and artificial intelligence and simultaneously allows one to draw insights about the behavior of financial markets.

		This is not completely surprising as the barriers to entry in financial services are very high: highly regulated, powerful (financially and politically) incumbents, extremely high customer inertia and a natural embedded conservatism given that we are dealing with people’s money.
		The upshot of his premise is that the Interent will not only commoditize existing financial markets even further, but will give rise to markets for everything.

	Oxford Scholarship Online: The Economics of Financial Markets
		Drawing mainly on data direct from the financial behavior of households, corporations, and governments in the USA, the authors show how accessible but rigorous economics can help in making sense of the financial markets (including those in equities, bonds, mutual funds, options, and futures) and of the ways in which these markets are organized.
		The authors contend that many of the approaches that might seem random or counter-intuitive at first sight are in fact rational and often predictable responses to events - but they also find that real markets stray from the rational economic path - financial markets make mistakes, and inefficiencies do exist.
		By bringing together information on the institutional details of financial markets with the concepts and tools of economic theory, the book will be of value to practitioners and students of financial markets alike.
