Agent-based computational economics (ACE) is the computational study of economies modeled as evolving systems of autonomous interacting agents. Starting from initial conditions, specified by the modeler, the computational economy evolves over time as its constituent agents repeatedly interact...

We show in this article how social learning gives rise to Walras equilibrium and why, in a … general setup, individual learning can effectively yield convergence to Cournot instead of Walras equilibrium. We illustrate …

This paper develops and analyses a dynamic model, which combines both the adoption and the industry evolution theories …. We model the decision of adoption, learning entry and exit of firms. These decisions depend on the interaction of …. The model we suggest also analyses effects on industry evolution and social welfare. …

We define social reciprocity as the act of demonstrating one's disapproval, at some personal cost, for the violation of widely-held norms (e.g., don't free ride). Social reciprocity differs from standard notions of reciprocity because social reciprocators intervene whenever a norm is violated...
