We present an agent behavior based microscopic model for diffusion price\nprocesses. As such we provide a model not only containing a convenient\nframework for describing socio-economic behavior, but also a sophisticated link\nto price dynamics. We furthermore establish the circumstances under which the\ndynamics converge to diffusion processes in the large market limit. To\ndemonstrate the applicability of a separation of behavior and price process, we\nshow how herding behavior of market participants can lead to equilibria\ntransition and oscillations in diffusion price processes.\n
