-This is code for an ABM of a climate prediction market
-in which traders adapt their belief about the climate based
-on the monetary performance of their neighboring traders in
-a social network. The ABM is meant to test whether climate
-prediction markets foster the convergence of people’s beliefs
-about the climate. The model will be used to
-assess whether such convergence is impacted by factors such
-as the initial belief-homophily in the social network or the
-time horizon at which climate securities are realized.
