I was just mentioning an interesting breakthrough in computer simulation
in the field of complexity theory (you know, chaos theory?). When John Holland
ran that simulation, he had a bet going with Thomas Sargent about whether or
not Holland's adaptive learning computer agents would learn to specu
You can model just about anything on a computer, from amebic life to
urban life. Why should bubbles be any different? Why do you need a
computer to tell you that private "rationality" can yield public
irrationality? Does the modeling enlighten more than plain English prose,
or does it just len
On hyperinflation, if you look at the modeling that John Holland is doing on
speculative bubbles in the stock market in complexity theory, you get an
intriguing start on looking at hyperinflation in a new way. Complexity
theorists are currently working on models that show how assumptions of
