| Inhalt | The term "Computational Economics" covers a wide array of methods and concepts, ranging from "traditional" numerical techniques to advanced simulations of complex economic systems, and anything in between. While the course “23525 Computational Economics” looked mainly into established techniques that any economist should have in their toolbox, this course will recent contributions. Building and expanding on the course "Computational Economics", the first part of this course will look into meta-heuristics and artificial intelligence (AI) inspired concepts for optimization where traditional (deterministic) methods struggle. In the second part covers methods for modelling and analysing complex and adaptive systems in an economic context. Real world situations often exhibit heterogeneity, butterfly effects, self-organization or critical situations that are difficult to analyse with traditional economic approaches. Agent-based Modelling and agent-based simulation are increasingly used in this context, and the course addresses how these can be setup, implemented, and analysed. |
| Lernziele | Successful participants should be familiar with recent methods for demanding optimization and simulation problems. Also, they will improve their programming skills with special emphasis on the implementation of economic / management models and related methods. |
| Literatur | Lecture material will be provided. There is no designated textbook, but to get a flavor of the topics or to deepen their knowledge, (prospective) participants might find the following books (in alphabetical order) helpful: *) Brabazon, A.; O'Neill, M. & McGarraghy, S.
