They simulate markets, organisations, economic dynamics, coalition formation, the emergence of cooperation and exchange, bargaining, decision making, learning, and adaptation. The history, problems, and perspectives of simulating social phenomena are explicitly discussed.
Synopsis: This volume in the series "Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems" looks at the history, problems and perspectives of simulating in the social sciences. Topics covered include: co-operation, exchange and coalitions; learning and adaption; and statistics.
