This paper establishes that the pro�t-seeking activities of private intermediaries can ensure Pareto e�ciency in the standard pure-exchange monetary overlapping generations economy without the need for government monetary or �scal policy intervention. Moreover, these...

Open Source Software (OSS) expresses the idea that developers should be able to license the publication of their software in a manner permitting anyone to freely use, modify, and distribute the software. Today OSS is widely used in the software industry, such as for language development tools...

In current restructured wholesale power markets, the short length of time series for prices makes it difficult to use empirical price data to test existing price forecasting tools and to develop new price forecasting tools. This study therefore proposes a two-stage approach for generating...

This study uses a dynamic 5-bus test case implemented via the AMES Wholesale Power Market Test Bed to investigate strategic capacity withholding by generation companies (GenCos) in restructured wholesale power markets under systematically varied demand conditions. The strategic behaviors of the...

In this tutorial paper, different AC and DC optimal power flow (OPF) models are presented to help understand the derivation of Locational Marginal Prices (LMPs) in restructured wholesale power markets. As a byproduct of this analysis, the paper provides a rigorous explanation of the basic LMP...

Wholesale power markets around the world are currently undergoing a controversial restructuring of their architecture and rules of operation.

This study outlines the main objectives and defining characteristics of agent-based computational economics (ACE), the computational study of economies modeled as evolving systems of autonomous interacting agents. Similarities and distinctions between ACE and artificial life research are...

This study investigates the performance of Gale-Shapley matching in an evolutionary market context. Computational experimental findings are reported for an evolutionary match-and-play trade network game in which resource constrained traders repeatedly choose and refuse trade partners in...
