| This page contains the results of a more than two year investigation of the tools and methods that I believe will bring agent-based simulation to a place of prominence among the discipline(s) of economics. This study began with a text book entitled C++ from the Ground Up, continued with a series of unclassified reports (listed below), and ended with a publication in the journal Computational Economics. Throughout this venture I sought to address a question posed to me by David Womble, a distinguished mathematician at Sandia National Laboratories: "Why would you want to build a simulation to solve a problem that has a closed form solution?" The simple answer is "You wouldn't." But, as I believe I demonstrated in the article below, there is more to it than that. - Jim Sprigg (Apr `07) |
