Please feel free to distribute it.


********************************************

World Scientific journal "New Mathematics and Natural Computation" will 
have a special issue on
"Agent-Based Macroeconomics"

Details can be found here:
http://www.worldscientific.com/page/nmnc/callforpapers02
and
http://erre.unich.it/gemm/cfp_abm_nmnc.pdf
for the pdf of the call for papers.



TOPICS

The special issue aims at bringing together the latest advances in 
agent-based computational macroeconomics.
Authors are encouraged to submit high-quality original manuscripts 
addressing any topic of interest for macroeconomics by using 
computational techniques.
Works focusing on the microfoundation phase of agent-based macroeconomic 
models are of particular interest for the special issue. A few examples 
are: (1) constructive critical discussions on the present state of the 
art, (2) new methodologies for improving the microfoundation stage of 
agent-based models such as estimation of artificial agents' 
motives/behavioral rules, (3) interdisciplinary approaches to agents' 
modeling, (4) the interaction between macroeconomic experiments and 
agent-based models.
