Many critical goods and services in modern-day economies are produced and distributed through complex institutional arrangements. Agent-based computational economics (ACE) modeling tools are capable of handling this degree of complexity. In concrete support of this claim, this study presents an...

The entry describes the basic agent-based computational economics methodology and provides a brief review of the literature.

Abstract not available

A brief overview of agent-based computational economics (ACE) is given, followed by a synopsis of the articles included in this special issue on ACE and in a companion special issue on ACE scheduled to appear in Computational Economics.

A brief overview of agent-based computational economics (ACE) is given, followed by synopses of the articles included in this special ACE issue.

This study explores the use of the agent based computational economics (ACE) technique to address the question of how a Treasury should auction its securities. In particular, this study explores whether a Treasury should use a discriminatory-price rule. Buyers are modeled as profit seekers that...

This essay discusses the potential relevance of artificial life research for the study of economic processes.

Agent-based Computational Economics (ACE) is the computational study of economic processes modeled as dynamic systems of interacting agents. This essay discusses the potential use of ACE modeling tools for the study of macroeconomic systems. Points are illustrated using an ACE model of a...

This study uses an agent-based computational labor market framework to experimentally study the relationship between job capacity, job concentration, and market power. Job capacity is measured by the ratio of potential job openings to potential work orders, and job concentration is measured by...

This handbook comprises 16 chapters surveying agent-based computational economics research, 6 shorter essays providing personal perspectives, and a "getting started" guide for newcomers to agent-based modeling in the social sciences. Research topics covered include: learning representations for...
