  Strategic Reasoning and Agent-Based Modeling
  Financial scenarios are characterized by complex interactions among forward-looking
  self-interested agents.  I discuss an emerging methodology for strategic reasoning that
  bridges the gap between computational modeling and economic analysis by combining
  fine-grained simulation with game-theoretic solution concepts. These methods have 
  shed light on several scenarios in automated trading, and may be suitable for 
  understanding the implications of high-frequency trading in various market mechanisms.
