Focusing on the intersection of computational intelligence and economics, this volume presents models addressing diverse issues in finance, management, and public policy. It highlights both ongoing and innovative research, showcasing how computational methods can effectively tackle complex problems traditionally approached from different perspectives. By fostering discussions of varied viewpoints, it serves as an engaging introduction to the field, aiming to inspire further exploration and study in computational economics.

Focusing on the evolution of agent-based computational economics (ACE), this book explores the design of artificial economic agents influenced by various complex sciences, including psychology, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology. It addresses the fundamental questions of what ACE is and its necessity in economic modeling, providing a comprehensive review of its development and implications for understanding economic systems.

After a decade's development, evolutionary computation (EC) proves to be a powerful tool kit for economic analysis. While the demand for this equipment is increasing, there is no volume exclusively written for economists. This volume for the first time helps economists to get a quick grasp on how EC may support their research. A comprehensive coverage of the subject is given, that includes the following three areas: game theory, agent-based economic modelling and financial engineering. Twenty leading scholars from each of these areas contribute a chapter to the volume. The reader will find himself treading the path of the history of this research area, from the fledgling stage to the burgeoning era. The results on games, labour markets, pollution control, institution and productivity, financial markets, trading systems design and derivative pricing, are new and interesting for different target groups. The book also includes informations on web sites, conferences, and computer software.
