Talk:Agent-based Computational macroeconomics

This article should be merged into Agent-Based Computational Economics. It currently just duplicates material from that page. It also makes excessive references to one PhD thesis. --Rinconsoleao (talk) 09:08, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It probably should. ACE is a pretty common term too, but I haven't heard of AC macroeconomics. --JokerXtreme (talk) 09:37, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it shouldn`t. Agent-based computational macroeconomics is a branch of ACE like macroeconomics is a branch of economics. Moreover, ACE exhibits many features that could be excellent properties of any macroeconomic model (like the fallacies of composition, the bottom-up design etc.).


 * However, if a mainstream economist evaluates the term "agent-based computational macroeconomics", he won't be interested in this topic... because he won't be interested in ACE at all and - of course - he won't be interested in a (sophisticated) macroceconomic ACE model; he is rather interested in his microeconomics and his (mainstream) microeconomic macromodel. Agent-based computational macro is a new way of designing macroeconomics with the help of modern soft- and hardware. It will be the future of macroeconomics!

I think the merge is now finished. I added a link to the Oeffner PhD thesis on the Agent-Based Computational Economics. There was really nothing else significant in the Agent-based Computational macroeconomics page, which pretty much repeated the same material. In fact, it placed excessive emphasis on that thesis, which cannot yet be classified as 'notable'. Therefore I am now going to redirect this page to Agent-Based Computational Economics.
