The Handbook of Experimental Economics by John Kagel and Alvin Roth. Several accounting academics including Shyam Sunder are developing markets and information experiments. It reflects my preoccupations with computational neuroethology, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and philosophy of mind. All annotations are my personal opinion. Your mileage may vary.
Agents learn what to produce, who to trade with, what to trade and how much all at the same time.
Knowledge of any of these enables knowledge of the others, so that division of labor, money, social networks of trade, ideal types, prices and production efforts all push each other in positive feedback, just as the first life self-organized. Maturana and Francisco Varela use the term to refer to the fundamental process of living systems. Autopoiesis is essentially the mechanism by which living systems continually produce themselves as autonomous unities. The exponentially growing interest on the mind, consciousness and life is altering the course of many discip- lines and opening new fascinating horizons for science. Subjects created by this trend include Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Life, Neural Networks, Cognitive Science and Complex Systems.
