      abstract = {This paper presents a general C++ platform for the  implementation of a trade network game (TNG) that combines  evolutionary game play with preferential partner selection.   In the TNG, successive generations of resource constrained  traders choose and refuse trade partners on the basis of  continually updated expected payoffs, engage in risky  trades modelled as two-person games, and evolve their trade  strategies over time.  The modular design of the TNG  platform facilitates experimentation with alternative  specifications for market structure, trade partner  matching, trading, expectation formation, and trade  strategy evolution.  The TNG platform can be used to study  the evolutionary implications of these specifications at  three different levels: individual trader attributes; trade  network formation; and social welfare.},
