Agent-Based Computational Economics: Modelling Economies as Complex Adaptive Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Agent-based computational economics (ACE) is the computational study of economies modelled as evolving systems of autonomous interacting agents. Thus, ACE is a specialization to economics of the basic complex adaptive systems paradigm. This paper outlines the main objectives and defining characteristics of the ACE methodology, and discusses several active research areas.

متن کاملGuest Editorial: Agent-based Modelling of Evolutionary Economic Systems
A modern market-based economy is an example of a complex adaptive system, consisting of a decentralized collection of autonomous agents interacting in various market contexts. These massively parallel local interactions give rise to global regularities such as trade networks, socially accepted monies, market protocols, business cycles and the common adoption of technological innovations. The re...

متن کاملEmpirical Validation in Agent-based Models: Introduction to the Special Issue
In the last two decades, economists have become more and more aware of the importance of modelling economies as complex dynamic systems (Rosser 2004). The recent tremendous improvement in computing capabilities has increasingly made it easier to implement computational simulation models in the study of markets, industries or organizations as evolving systems composed of many heterogeneous agent...
