From the reviews: "Artificial Economics: The Generative Method in Economics represents the proceedings of the Artificial Economics Conference ... . Given the breadth of topics covered - from Auction Theory to labor markets ... certainly something to be found for everybody with an interest in Agent-Based Modeling in economics. ... I have enjoyed reading the contributions to this volume. ... This volume is an impressive snapshot of the current state of the art in Agent-Based Computational Economics and host to a lot of fresh ideas ... ."
