Abstract

Based on the 50 papers surveyed in Reference, this paper addresses general research trends in agent-based macroeconomics. On the aspect of agent engineering, we highlight two major developments: first, the extensive applications of computational intelligence tools in modeling adaptive behavior, and second the grounding of these applications in the cognitive sciences.

Keywords:Agent-Based Modeling of Macroeconomics (ABM), Computational Intelligence, Genetic Programming, Co-Evolution, Novelties.
