| Abstract: | OptiMark, an automated crossing system that matches institutional buyers and sellers of company stock, is simulated via a multi-agent system. The results are contrasted with two algorithm variations based on a cruder rating (hereafter as: c-r.) system. Performance measures include the volume of stocks traded, the extent of price discrimination, trader utility, efficiency of matches, and processing time. This paper's results indicate that the c-r. schemes perform as well as the original version for moderately sized markets. Yet, a test with human subjects implies that the crudest preference elicitation scheme appears simpler to use than the original scheme. |
