We analyze how to develop an agent-based system in which agents evolve co-evolutionary endogenous rules of behavior by using best response and emotions. We show that best response is not sufficient to define complete and consistent rules of behavior... Read More about Modeling emotions and reason in agent-based systems..

Analysing industry profitability: a "complexity as cause" perspective. (2009)
Journal Article
CALDART, A.A. and OLIVEIRA, F. 2010. Analysing industry profitability: a "complexity as cause" perspective. European management journal [online], 28(2), pages 95-107. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.emj.2009.04.004

We investigate how the competitive complexity of an industrial sector affects its profitability. For that purpose, we developed a set of simulations representing industries as complex systems where different firms co-evolve linked by multiple competi...
