This paper tries to connect the theory of genetic algorithm (GA) learning to evolutionary game theory. It is shown that economic learning via genetic algorithms can be described as a specific form of evolutionary game. It will be pointed out that GA learning results in a series of near Nash...

The paper presents an extended version of the consumer choice problem. Different from the standard model, prices are not fixed but arise from Walrasian interactions of total demand and a stylized supply function for each of the goods. Three different types of evolutionary algorithms are set up...

The book is dedicated to the use of genetic algorithms in theoretical economic research. Genetic algorithms offer the chance of overcoming the limitations traditional mathematical tractability puts on economic research and thus open new horzions for economic theory. The book reveals close...

Dieser Beitrag bietet eine Einführung in eine Gruppe moderner Algorithmen, den sogenannten evolutionären Optimierungsverfahren. Anhand eines einfachen Beispiels wird die grundsätzliche Funktionsweise dieser Algorithmen skizziert. Darüberhinaus wird ein Überblick über die...
