Agent-Based Computational Economics (ACE)
This new field of study "is roughly characterized as the computational
study of economies modeled as evolving decentralized systems of
autonomous interacting agents. A central concern of ACE researchers is
to understand the apparently spontaneous appearance of global
regularities in economic processes, such as the unplanned coordination
of trade in decentralized market economies that economists associate
with Adam Smith's invisible hand." This site offers introductory and
detailed surveys, a list of readings, software, links to other ACE
sites and resources, conferences, and news notes.
