Recensioner i media

“The book is constructed and written in a clear manner. It provides a proper literature review on the ABM literature and on traditional economics. … The book is intended for graduate and Ph.D. students.” (Wei-Bin Zhang, Journal of Economic Interaction and Coordination, Vol. 13, 2018)“This volume provides an excellent, hands-on introduction to agent-based modeling in macroeconomics and finance. … it strikes a good balance between parsimony and detailed instruction. By working with this text and its online code, a student or scholar can ramp up fairly quickly to running his/her own computational experiments in R or C. … In summary, this is a highly valuable contribution.” (Christophre Georges, Journal ofEconomic Literature, Vol. 55 (2), June, 2017)
