After providing them with a basic \"toolkit\" for Agent Based modeling, it present and discusses didactic models of real financial and economic systems in detail. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile stressing the main features and advantages of the bottom-up perspective inherent to this approach, the book also highlights the logic and practical steps that characterize the model building procedure. A detailed description of the underlying codes, developed using R and C, is also provided. In addition, each didactic model is accompanied by exercises and applications designed to promote active learning on the part of the reader. Following the same approach, the book also presents several complementary tools required for the analysis and validation of the models, such as sensitivity experiments, calibration exercises, economic network and statistical distributions analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy the end of the book, the reader will have gained a deeper understanding of the Agent Based methodology and be prepared to use the fundamental techniques required to start developing their own economic models.\u003c\/p\u003e Accordingly, \"Economics with Heterogeneous Interacting Agents\" will be of particular interest to graduate and postgraduate students, as well as to academic institutions and lecturers interested in including an overview of the AB approach to economic modeling in their courses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alessandro Caiani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 331944056X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319440569\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Alessandro Caiani","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073586950399,"sku":"9783319440569","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd7f7ab0-4d47-4bda-9904-e232709ef2c4.jpg?v=1685448702","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/economics-with-heterogeneous-interacting-agents-alessandro-caiani-9783319440569","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
