Industry and Labor Dynamics:The Agent-Based Computational Economics Approach

Edited by Roberto Leombruni and Matteo Richiardi

in World Scientific Books from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: This book presents the contributions to the first Wild@Ace conference. The acronym stands for “Workshop on Industrial and Labor Dynamics — The Agent-Based Computational Aproach”, and it has been the first event ever focusing on the very promising use of the agent-based simulation approach for investigation of labor economics and industrial organization issues.
