Agent-based models of economic interactions

The interdisciplinary field of econophysics has enjoyed recently a surge of activities especially with numerous agent-based models, which have led to a substantial development of this field. We review three main application areas of agent-based models in econophysics: order books, distributions of wealth in conservative economies, and minority games.
