Ponzi Scheme Model

By Randy M. Casstevens and
Jennifer S. Trueblood

An implementation of a Ponzi Scheme. In this Ponzi Scheme model, the market fluctuations and social influences of neighboring investors influence the investor's decision on whether or not to buy or sell the investment.

This model was developed at the Santa Fe Institute's Graduate Workshop in Computational Social Science Modeling and Complexity.
