 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.
