"Economics and complex systems"

An economy provides one of the best examples of a complex system.
Economics is fundamentally different than physics or even biology
because it is forced to address the presence of agents who can
reason. The traditional approach has been to assume perfect
rationally
and selfish optimizing. While there are some situations where this
approach can be very useful, there are many situations where it is
guaranteed to fail. I will discuss some simple examples in which the
classic approach of attempting to understand the world in terms of
Nash equilibria is severely challenged. The first example is when
agents try to learn their opponents strategy in the game of
rock-paper-scissors; the second example is a simple game of chance in
which subjective perceptions can alter objective reality (a common
occurrence in an economy). Then I will discuss an evolutionary
approach to modeling agent behavior, and argue that financial markets
may provide one of the best laboratories for studying selection under
variation and descent, i.e. they provide an example where one can
quantitatively study social evolution.
