Simulation models are becoming increasingly common in the analysis of critical scientific,
policy, and management issues. Such models provide a way to analyze complex systems …

This book provides the first clear, comprehensive, and accessible account of complex adaptive
social systems, by two of the field's leading authorities. Such systems--whether political …

Economic analysis has largely avoided questions about the way in which economic agents
make choices when confronted by a perpetually novel and evolving world. As a result, there …

In the finitely repeated prisoner's dilemma, it is well known that defection in every game is
the unique dominant-strategy Nash equilibrium. This follows from the familiar backward-…

A model of learning and adaptation is used to analyze the coevolution of strategies in the
repeated Prisoner's Dilemma game under both perfect and imperfect reporting. Metaplayers …

Peloruside A is a novel secondary metabolite isolated from a New Zealand marine sponge,
Mycale hentscheli, that has potent paclitaxel-like microtubule-stabilizing activity and is …

We study the relationship between voters' preferences and the emergence of party platforms
in two-party democratic elections with adaptive parties. In the model, preferences of voters …

Experiments on auctions find that subjects make systematic bidding errors that cannot be
explained within the context of Nash equilibrium bidding models. Experimenters and others …

An understanding of electron-initiated processes in aqueous systems and the subsequent
radical chemistry these processes induce is significant in such diverse fields as waste …

We develop a model of two-party spatial elections that departs from the standard model in
three respects: parties' information about voters' preferences is limited to polls; parties can be …
