Simulation in Economics: Evidence on Diffusion and Communication

Magda Fontana

Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, 2006, vol. 9, issue 2, 8

Abstract: This paper presents the analysis of a dataset of publications in economics that makes use of simulations. Data areas explored in order to obtain information about diffusion of simulation techniques in time and across sub-disciplines. Moreover, following Robert Axelrod's concerns about the difficulties in sharing simulation models and their outputs, some peculiarities in the communication process among 'simulators' are highlighted.
