基于Agent的计算经济学及其在供应网络中的应用

基于Agent的计算经济学（ACE）是将复杂适应系统（CAS）、基于Agent的计算机仿真方法应用到经济学研究的一种新方法。与传统的“自上而下”研究方法不同,ACE是用由很多自主、交互的Agent构成的演化系统来对整个经济系统进行建模的计算研究方法。对国内外在ACE取得的成果进行了综述,并讨论了ACE方法的特征和研究方向。同时着重讨论了ACE在供应网络中的应用,说明了它的优势,并分别在供应网络的企业内部机制、组织和复杂网络等方面讨论了潜在的研究方向。

Agent-Based Computational Economics and its Application in Supply Networks

Agent-based computational economics(ACE) is a new approach which introduces the complex adaptive system theory and agent-based computer simulation techniques to economic research.Compared with traditional approach,which is "up-down",ACE is the computational study of economies that modeled as evolving systems of autonomous interacting agents.This paper gives a critical study of the ongoing researches in the area of ACE,and discusses its key characteristics and research areas.Also,this paper emphasizes its application in modeling Supply Networks,illuminates its advantage and discusses the potential research areas,such as inside mechanism,organization and complex networks.
