The model captures how individual decisions, based on limited historical information, can lead to emergent market dynamics such as herding, volatility, and phase transitions. By extending the original Minority Game, we analyze the effects of introducing randomness, imitation and individualbased learning on system efficiency and stability. Furthermore, entropy analysis provides insights into coordination efficiency and the degree of disorder within the system. The results highlight the Minority Game’s relevance as a simple framework but important for understanding the relation between individual behavior and macroscopic market phenomena7 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Hernando, 2025http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Mercat financerTransformacions de fase (Física estadística)Treballs de fi de grauFinancial marketPhase transformations (Statistical physics)Bachelor's thesesMinority Games: A Physics-Based Analysis of Financial Market Behaviorinfo:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
