The book presents a peer-reviewed collection of papers presented during the 10th issue of the
Artificial Economics conference addressing a variety of issues related to macroeconomics
industrial organization networks management and finance as well as purely methodological
issues. The field of artificial economics covers a broad range of methodologies relying on
computer simulations in order to model and study the complexity of economic and social
phenomena. The grounding principle of artificial economics is the analysis of aggregate
properties of simulated systems populated by interacting adaptive agents that are equipped with
heterogeneous individual behavioral rules. These macroscopic properties are neither foreseen
nor intended by the artificial agents but generated collectively by them. They are emerging
characteristics of such artificially simulated systems.
