Emergence of heterogeneity in an agent-based model
arXiv:cond-mat/0210689
Abstract
We study an interacting agent model of a game-theoretical economy. The agents play a minority-subsequently-majority game and they learn, using backpropagation networks, to obtain higher payoffs. We study the relevance of heterogeneity to performance, and how heterogeneity emerges.
