Agent-based models (ABMs) are quite new in the modeling landscape; they emerged on the scene in the 1990s. ABMs have a clear advantage over other approaches: they create the capacity to manage learning processes in agents and discover novelties in their behavior. In addition to bounded rationality assumptions, ABMs share a number of peculiar characteristics: first of all, a bottom-up perspective is assumed where the properties of macro-dynamics are emergent properties of micro-dynamics involving individuals as heterogeneous agents who live in complex systems that evolve through time. To apply this framework to financial crisis analysis, a simplified implementation of the SWARM protocol (www.swarm.org), based on Python, is introduced. The result is the Swarm-Like Agent Protocol in Python (SLAPP). Using SLAPP, we can focus on natural phenomena and social behavior. In our case, we focus on the banking system, recreating the interactions of a community of financial institutions that act in the payment system and in the interbank market for short-term liquidity. INTRODUCTION: LITERATURE REVIEW ... there is no general principle that prevents the creation of an economic theory based on other hypotheses than that of rationality (K. J. Arrow, 1987) The raison d’être of Agent-based models (ABMs) lies in a vision of the world that is completely different from the conventional view of rational choice theory, which prevails in economics. Beginning with Adam Smith’s idea of the “invisible hand”, the (minor) history of economic science may be represented in a stylized fashion as a progressive refinement of the rational agent hypothesis, which first materialized in profit (utility)-maximizing agents and, later, in the Lucas and Sargent rational expectation theory. In the game theoretical strand of economic science, the rational agent paradigm translates into infinitely forwardand backward-looking agents that are usually endowed with common knowledge about their opponent’s rational behavior. Although infinitely rational, strategies elaborated by these agents may be proven as less successful than simpler strategies based on heuristics and shortcuts, as witnessed by the famous Axelrod tournament reported in Schellenberg (1996). Axelrod invited game theorists and behavioral economists to play an iterated prisoner’s dilemma by submitting computer programs translating the strategies that they thought a player should follow during the game. A number of scholars joined the tournament: some of them presented complex software replicating forwardand backward-looking agents, and others submitted simple programs mimicking agents’ behaviors with simpler rules, heuristics and shortcuts. The simplest of these programs was the one named “Tit for Tat,” built by Anatol Rapoport, a famous psychologist. The
