"The use of computational, especially agent-based, models has
already shown its value in illuminating the study of economic and
other social processes. Miller and Page have written an orientation
to this field that is a model of motivation and insight, making
clear the underlying thinking and illustrating it by varied and
thoughtful examples. It conveys with remarkable clarity the
essentials of the complex systems approach to the embarking
researcher."--Kenneth J. Arrow, winner of the Nobel Prize in
economics
"In "Complex Adaptive Systems," two masters of this burgeoning
field provide a highly readable and novel restatement of the logic
of social interactions, linking individually based micro processes
to macrosocial outcomes, ranging from Adam Smith's invisible hand
to Thomas Schelling's models of standing ovations. The book
combines the vision of a new Santa Fe school of computational,
social, and behavioral science with essential 'how to' advice for
apprentice modelers."--Samuel Bowles, author of "Microeconomics:
Behavior, Institutions, Evolution"
"This is a wonderful book that will be read by graduate
students, faculty, and policymakers. The authors write in an
extraordinarily clear manner about topics that are very technical
and difficult for many people. I sat down to begin thumbing through
and found myself deeply engaged."--Elinor Ostrom, author of
"Understanding Institutional Diversity"
