Abstract

Based on the 50 papers surveyed in Reference,2) this paper addresses general research trends in agent-based macroeconomics. On the aspect ofagent engineering, we highlight two major developments: first, the extensive applications of computational intelligence tools in modeling adaptive behavior, and second the grounding of these applications in the cognitive sciences.
