This chapter discusses the potential of the agent-based computational economics approach
for the analysis of processes of innovation and technological change. It is argued that, on the …

Agent-based simulation has become increasingly popular as a modeling approach in the
social sciences because it enables researchers to build models where individual entities …

Little has been written in the new product development literature about the simulation
technique agent‐based modeling, which is a by‐product of recent explorations into complex …

Agent-based simulation models can reproduce the interactions between members of an
organization or between different organizations in an artificial environment where “agents” …

While the idea of computer simulation has had enormous influence on most areas of
science, and even on the public imagination through its use in computer games such as …

Agriculture continues to be a major contributor to water pollution, climate change and loss of
biodiversity although policies to encourage farmers to work to higher sustainability …

This paper assesses methods and components of formal evolutionary-economic modelling.
Methods are broadly classified into evolutionary game theory and selection dynamics …

As in the physical sciences, theoretical modeling in the social sciences typically entails the
specification and analysis of parameterized systems of differential equations. Many critical …

Agent based modeling (ABM) is a standard tool that is useful across many disciplines.
Despite widespread and mounting interest in ABM, even broader adoption has been …

There has been some discussion about agent-based modelling (ABM) and theory,
particularly how ABM might facilitate theory building. However, there is confusion about the …
