摘要
计算经济学(ACE)是用计算的方法来进行经济研究的新技术。其途径是通过大量有独立机能并能相互影响的Agents组成的进化系统来建模和模拟真实的经济体系。这是一个非常活跃的研究领域,涉及到经济学、统计学、计算科学和行为心理学的最新发展和前沿研究。并介绍了计算经济学的基本思路、计算经济学模型与经典经济学模型的主要区别、计算经济学技术的特点和它的潜在优势。文章通过计算经济学在交通行为研究的一个具体案例来阐述计算经济学技术应用的关键途径。
Agent-based computational economics (ACE) is a new technology to make economic study through computation. It establishes models and reality-simulating economic system through evolving systems of autonomous interacting agents. This is a fast growing area of study involving the latest development and forward research in economics, statistics, computer science and behaviour psychology. This paper is to introduce the basic idea of ACE, the main differences between traditional economic models and ACE models, the characteristics of ACE techniques and the potential advantages of ACE research. Then we use a case study of travel behaviour to illustrate the essential approach of ACE technique in detail.
