313101 Agent-based Computational Economics (V) (SoSe 2015)
Short comment
- Sprache: The course will be held in English.
Contents, comment
-
Computational economics broadly defined consists of two sub-fields:
- Numerical solution of models, that is the computation of general equilibrium and game-theoretic problems. This field can properly be seen as numerical mathematics applied to economics.
- Agent-based modelling and simulation, in which a simulation model represents the interactions of agents in a multi-agent system. This field can be seen as computer science applied to social science problems.
This course deals with the second sub-field, namely with agent-based modelling and simulation. Students can expect to learn about the conceptual and theoretical aspects of using ABMs in the social sciences.
