abstract = "The relation between market diversity and market
efficiency has been studied. Economic heterogeneity is
a fundamental driving force and an essential property
in the economic systems. People who have different
perspectives, technologies, or endowments may benefit
from their trading behaviour which constitutes economic
activities. In this paper, economic simulation based on
the growing field of artificial stock markets is
employed to study this issue. Market size and different
learning styles are used to discuss the influence of
heterogeneity. Simulation results have demonstrated
that more participants and individual learning cause
higher degree of traders' diversity, which, in turn,
enhances market efficiency.",
