Progress in Artificial Economics: Computational and Agent-Based Models

Artificial economics aims to provide a generative approach to understanding problems in economics and social sciences. It is based on the consistent use of agent—based models and computational techniques. It encompasses a rich variety of techniques that generalize numerical analysis, mathematical programming, and micro—simulations. The peer—reviewed contributions in this volume address applications of artificial economics to markets and trading, auctions, networks, management, industry sect...
