Agent-Based Models as “Interested Amateurs”
This paper proposes the use of agent-based models (ABMs) as “interested amateurs” in policy making, and uses the example of the SWAP model of soil and water conservation adoption to demonstrate the potential of this approach.

Agent-based models (ABMs) provide a methodology to explore systems of interacting, adaptive, diverse, spatially situated actors. Outcomes in ABMs can be equilibrium points, equilibrium distributions, cycles, randomness, or complex patterns; these outcomes are not directly determined by assumptions but instead emerge from the interactions of actors in ...

Symmetry-based reciprocity: evolutionary constraints on a proximate mechanism [PDF]
Background. While the evolution of reciprocal cooperation has attracted an enormous attention, the proximate mechanisms underlying the ability of animals to cooperate reciprocally are comparatively neglected.

The dual problems of coordination and anti-coordination on random bipartite graphs
In some scenarios (‘anti-coordination games’), individuals are better off choosing different actions than their neighbors while in other scenarios (‘coordination games’), it is beneficial for individuals to choose the same strategy as their neighbors ...

La Grande Recessione è stata un esperimento naturale per la macroeconomica, mostrando l’inadeguatezza della teoria dominante basata sui modelli DSGE. La macroeconomia dovrebbe considerare l’economia come un sistema complesso in evoluzione, cioè come un ...

Finite Symmetries in Agent-Based Epidemic Models
Predictive analysis of epidemics often depends on the initial conditions of the outbreak, the structure of the afflicted population, and population size. However, disease outbreaks are subjected to fluctuations that may shape the spreading process. Agent-

Agent-based models and individualism: is the world agent-based? [PDF]
Agent-based models (ABMs) are an increasingly popular tool in the social sciences. This trend seems likely to continue, so that they will become widely used in geography and in urban and regional planning.
