"This title covers statistical models of heterogeneity, artifical consumer markets, models of adaptive expectation formulation in financial markets and agent-based models of industry evolution, product diversification and energy markets. The joint findings are presented in a manner that is both interesting for readers with a background in economics/management and mathematics and statistics in a way that allows also non-expert readers to grasp the ideas of modern management science. This book this provides a unique integrated toolbox for building realistic agent-based models of learning and adaptation in a variety of settings based on sound data analysis."--Jacket.
