  • Active Particles Methods in Economics

    New Perspectives in the Interaction between Mathematics and Economics

    by Nicola Bellomo, Diletta Burini, Valeria Secchini, Pietro Terna ...
    Series series Elements in Complexity and Agent-based Economics
    The aim of this Element is to understand how far mathematical theories based on active particles methods have been applied to describe the dynamics of complex systems in economics, and to look forward to further research perspectives in the interaction between mathematics and economics. The mathematical theory of active particles and the theory of behavioral swarms are selected for the above ... Read more

  • Rethinking Macroeconomics with Endogenous Market Structure

    by Marco Mazzoli, Matteo Morini, Pietro Terna ...
    The birth and death of firms is one of the main features of the business cycle. Yet mainstream DGSE macroeconomic models mostly ignore this phenomenon, thereby excluding any potential impact of economic policy on the probability of the birth and death of firms. Those DGSE models that do allow for this phenomenon do so at the cost of drastic simplifications, which effectively rule out causal links ... Read more

  • Complex Adaptive Systems

    An Introduction to Computational Models of Social Life

    by John H. Miller, Scott Page ...
    Series series Princeton Studies in Complexity
    This book provides the first clear, comprehensive, and accessible account of complex adaptive social systems, by two of the field's leading authorities. Such systems--whether political parties, stock markets, or ant colonies--present some of the most intriguing theoretical and practical challenges confronting the social sciences. Engagingly written, and balancing technical detail with intuitive ... Read more

  • Measurement

    A Very Short Introduction

    by David J. Hand ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions
    Measurement is a fundamental concept that underpins almost every aspect of the modern world. It is central to the sciences, social sciences, medicine, and economics, but it affects everyday life. We measure everything - from the distance of far-off galaxies to the temperature of the air, levels of risk, political majorities, taxes, blood pressure, IQ, and weight. The history of measurement goes ... Read more

  • Predicting Our Climate Future

    What We Know, What We Don't Know, And What We Can't Know

    by David Stainforth ...
    This book is about how climate science works and why you should absolutely trust some of its conclusions and absolutely distrust others. Climate change raises new, foundational challenges in science. It requires us to question what we know and how we know it. The subject is important for society but the science is young and history tells us that scientists can get things wrong before they get ... Read more

  • Chaos Theory in the Social Sciences

    Foundations and Applications

    Edited by L. Douglas Kiel, Euel W. Elliott ...
    Chaos Theory in the Social Sciences: Foundations and Applications offers the most recent thinking in applying the chaos paradigm to the social sciences. The book explores the methodological techniques--and their difficulties--for determining whether chaotic processes may in fact exist in a particular instance and examines implications of chaos theory when applied specifically to political science, ...

  • Behavioral Rationality and Heterogeneous Expectations in Complex Economic Systems

    by Cars Hommes ...
    Recognising that the economy is a complex system with boundedly rational interacting agents, the book presents a theory of behavioral rationality and heterogeneous expectations in complex economic systems and confronts the nonlinear dynamic models with empirical stylized facts and laboratory experiments. The complexity modeling paradigm has been strongly advocated since the late 1980s by some ... Read more

  • Sociophysics: An Introduction

    by Parongama Sen, Bikas K. Chakrabarti ...
    This book discusses the study and analysis of the physical aspects of social systems and models, inspired by the analogy with familiar models of physical systems and possible applications of statistical physics tools. Unlike the traditional analysis of the physics of macroscopic many-body or condensed matter systems, which is now an established and mature subject, the upsurge in the physical ... Read more

  • Life

    by Laurentiu Mihaescu ...
    Space, gravity, atoms and a little bit of randomness, these are the main ingredients in the most important recipe ever. And there is no need for someone to mix and prepare them, or to throw some cosmic dice; the simple laws of physics are doing it perfectly. This recipe, the Universe and about 10 billion years of "cooking": Somewhere, on a small planet, the first living cells have emerged. 4 ... Read more

  • Agent-Based Models in Economics

    A Toolkit

    Edited by Domenico Delli Gatti, Giorgio Fagiolo, Mauro Gallegati, Matteo Richiardi, Alberto Russo ...
    In contrast to mainstream economics, complexity theory conceives the economy as a complex system of heterogeneous interacting agents characterised by limited information and bounded rationality. Agent Based Models (ABMs) are the analytical and computational tools developed by the proponents of this emerging methodology. Aimed at students and scholars of contemporary economics, this book includes a ... Read more
