Nonlinearity, Complexity and Randomness in Economics
presents a variety of papers by leading economists, scientists, and
philosophers who focus on different aspects of nonlinearity,
complexity and randomness, and their implications for economics. A
theme of the book is that economics should be based on algorithmic,
computable mathematical foundations.
* Features an interdisciplinary collection of papers by
economists, scientists, and philosophers
* Presents new approaches to macroeconomic modelling, agent-based
modelling, financial markets, and emergent complexity
* Reveals how economics today must be based on algorithmic,
computable mathematical foundations
