Agentes computacionales y análisis económico

Abstract

Simulation of systems of multiple agents and agent-based modeling deal with virtual entities that interact according to the rules of controlled environments. Thereby, they help to understand the behavior of real economic agents, considering factors such us heterogeneity, spatiality, bounded rationality, among others. Many economic problems can be well modeled with significant results. This article surveys academic work on agent-based approaches in economics and highlights the promising features as well as the limitations of its implementation.
