Abstract

This paper presents an agent-based model developed to simulate individual residential choice behaviour in a non-stationary housing market. The model is built around the assumption that agents have incomplete and imperfect knowledge about their environment and thus have to base their decisions on beliefs. The aim of this paper is to illustrate how the agents deal with the uncertainty inherent in these beliefs, both at the level of a single agent, deciding among a set of successive actions, and at the level of a group of agents, negotiating over the price of a house.
