RESUMO

Spam is an important problem that incurs in huge financial losses. However, spam is based on consumption. The existence, or the possibility of existence, of a demand generates a supply offered through spam. Therefore, understanding this market generated by spammers and potential consumers is imperative. This is due to the fact that understanding this market can bring valuable information about the effects of fundamental factors, the consequences and deficiencies of the available anti-spam techniques, and to propose alternatives. This work creates a model, based on agents and in economics concepts and models, of the market behind spam. Moreover, the analysis done contributes to understanding spam and its market, to inferring the consequences, in this market, of the usual anti-spam techniques. As a final goal, suggestions about improvements and new strategies are proposed.
