"This timely and very impressive handbook volume provides in-depth survey essays on major recent developments in heterogeneous agent modeling in economics. The editors of the volume and the authors of the individual chapters are pioneers and leading researchers in this emergent area of study. The volume will be an essential resource for economists and graduate students who are working with or interested in heterogeneous agent models." --Journal of Economic Literature

Handbook of Computational Economics: Heterogeneous Agent Modeling, Volume Four, focuses on heterogeneous agent models, emphasizing recent advances in macroeconomics (including DSGE), finance, empirical validation and experiments, networks and related applications. Capturing the advances made since the publication of Volume Two (Tesfatsion & Judd, 2006), it provides high-level literature with sections devoted to Macroeconomics, Finance, Empirical Validation and Experiments, Networks, and other applications, including Innovation Diffusion in Heterogeneous Populations, Market Design and Electricity Markets, and a final section on Perspectives on Heterogeneity.
