Complexity Theory

I. Complexity web sites 

·         Agent Based computational economics (ACE) is the computational study of economics modeled as evolving systems as autonomous interacting agents. ACE is thus a specialization to economics of the basic complex adaptive systems paradigm.

·         Among others, people at ISCORE research the effects of network structure on cooperative dynamics.
