On-Line Guide for Newcomers to ABM (Axelrod and Tesfatsion) Agent-Based Computational Economics (Tesfatsion) Growing Economies from the Bottom Up ACE Overview ACE Modeling Principles Real-world economies exhibit five essential properties. First, real-world economies consist of heterogeneous interacting entities encapsulating distinct states (data, attributes, methods). Taken together, these five essential properties imply that real-world economies are locally-constructive sequential games.
Roughly defined, ACE is the computational modeling of economic processes (including whole economies) as open-ended dynamic systems of interacting agents. More precisely, the ACE modeling approach is characterized by the seven modeling principles listed below. (MP1) Agent Definition: An agent is a software entity within a computationally constructed world capable of acting on the basis of its own state, i.e., its own internal data, attributes, and methods. (MP2)Agent Scope: Agents can represent individuals, social groupings, institutions, biological entities, and/or physical entities. ACE Research Objectives. Why are economists sceptical about agent-based simulations? Economy needs agent-based modelling. Modeling Macroeconomies as Open-Ended Dynamic Systems of Interacting Agents.
Agent-based models : The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics. Hommes_pres.pdf. Farmer_pres.pdf. Agent-based model. An agent-based model (ABM) is one of a class of computational models for simulating the actions and interactions of autonomous agents (both individual or collective entities such as organizations or groups) with a view to assessing their effects on the system as a whole. It combines elements of game theory, complex systems, emergence, computational sociology, multi-agent systems, and evolutionary programming. Monte Carlo Methods are used to introduce randomness. Particularly within ecology, ABMs are also called individual-based models (IBMs),[1] and individuals within IBMs may be simpler than fully autonomous agents within ABMs. Agent-based models are a kind of microscale model [3] that simulate the simultaneous operations and interactions of multiple agents in an attempt to re-create and predict the appearance of complex phenomena.
The process is one of emergence from the lower (micro) level of systems to a higher (macro) level. History[edit] Early developments[edit] Theory[edit] Home | Santa Fe Institute.
