This book offers a practical guide to Agent Based economic
modeling, adopting a "learning by doing" approach to help the
reader master the fundamental tools needed to create and analyze
Agent Based models. After providing them with a basic "toolkit" for
Agent Based modeling, it present and discusses didactic models of
real financial and economic systems in detail. While stressing the
main features and advantages of the bottom-up perspective inherent
to this approach, the book also highlights the logic and practical
steps that characterize the model building procedure. A detailed
description of the underlying codes, developed using R and C, is
also provided. In addition, each didactic model is accompanied by
exercises and applications designed to promote active learning on
the part of the reader. Following the same approach, the book also
presents several complementary tools required for the analysis and
validation of the models, such as sensitivity experiments,
calibration exercises, economic network and statistical
distributions analysis. By the end of the book, the reader will
have gained a deeper understanding of the Agent Based methodology
and be prepared to use the fundamental techniques required to start
developing their own economic models. Accordingly, "Economics with
Heterogeneous Interacting Agents" will be of particular interest to
graduate and postgraduate students, as well as to academic
institutions and lecturers interested in including an overview of
the AB approach to economic modeling in their courses.

Introduction to Agent-Based Economics describes the principal
elements of agent-based computational economics (ACE). It
illustrates ACE's theoretical foundations, which are rooted in the
application of the concept of complexity to the social sciences,
and it depicts its growth and development from a non-linear
out-of-equilibrium approach to a state-of-the-art agent-based
macroeconomics. The book helps readers gain a better understanding
of the limits and perspectives of the ACE models and their capacity
to reproduce economic phenomena and empirical patterns.

paint and draw while mixing digital and traditional techniques. It
is a great challenge every day." - A. Russo Caricature is the
satirical illustration of a person or a thing, but a cartoon is the
satirical illustration of an idea. in this innovative book brought
to you by the folks at www.MadArtistPublishing.com, you'll enjoy a
collection of hilarious celebrity illustrations and learn about the
concepts and inspiration that drives Creative Director,
Illustrator, Caricaturist Alberto Russo to achieve them.Learn
professional caricature and illustration techniques from a master,
read tips and advice and be entertained by a great selection of
playable videos right from the book. What other great artists are
saying about Alberto's work: "Alberto is, to me, one of the few who
has this talent to create powerful and iconic pieces of art."
Thomas Lebeltel (FR) www.theb.over-blog.com "Every painting or
drawing by Alberto shows his love for art, and facial architecture.
His caricatures are breathtaking, original, and funny. Looking at
his work always makes me want to paint " Wouter Tulp (NL)
www.woutertulp.nl "Browsing through Alberto's work is a lust for
the eye. He always gets a great likeness, but his art goes far
beyond that... just look at the brush strokes or the pencil lines:
they are always honest, like sketches should be. All the sketches
are great, and my preferred ones are the 'roughest' ones, dynamic
compositions with a lot of structure and light-dark contrast in
it.This is real art " Jan Op De Beeck (BE) http:
//theb.over-blog.com "I had great pleasure in admiring the
incredible evolution of Alberto's work. He has really created a
unique style, varying virtuosity with different techniques and the
mastery of distortion to create good caricatures. The perfect
alchemy he creates will enable him to become one of the top people
in this area." Anthony Geoffroy (FR) www.AnthonyGeoffroy.com
"Alberto Russo's work brings a freshness and excitement to the art
of caricature Caricature set aside, his drawings are full of life
and that is key to capturing solid character. His work, filled with
a gritty and edgy mood pulls me in and leaves me wanting more "
Jason Seiler (USA) www.facebook.com/jasonseilerillustration There
is some magic about doing caricature that artists can not tools and
even the resemblance. Is a mix of that "everything" in perfect
balance, and "that" my colleague Alberto Russo, has it." Jota Leal
(USA) www.jotaleal.com "Alberto Russo's many graphic researches in
pencil prove that he is perfectly capable of leaving his computer
behind when he draws caricatures. Not many people can say the same
today even though the quality of today's images is higher than ever
thanks to the challenges created by Facebook for people drawing
caricatures. The risk is that finalising them in a realistic
photographic way with the computer creates monotony and uniformity
of style. Only adepts of traditional drawing will make a
difference, and Alberto is one of them." Jean Mulatier (FR)

In contrast to mainstream economics, complexity theory conceives
the economy as a complex system of heterogeneous interacting agents
characterised by limited information and bounded rationality. Agent
Based Models (ABMs) are the analytical and computational tools
developed by the proponents of this emerging methodology. Aimed at
students and scholars of contemporary economics, this book includes
a comprehensive toolkit for agent-based computational economics,
now quickly becoming the new way to study evolving economic
systems. Leading scholars in the field explain how ABMs can be
applied fruitfully to many real-world economic examples and
represent a great advancement over mainstream approaches. The
essays discuss the methodological bases of agent-based approaches
and demonstrate step-by-step how to build, simulate and analyse
ABMs and how to validate their outputs empirically using the data.
They also present a wide set of applications of these models to key
economic topics, including the business cycle, labour markets, and
economic growth.
