Shu-Heng Chen is a Taiwanese economist and currently a Distinguished Professor at the Department of Economics at National Chengchi University. He is also the founder and Director of the AI-ECON Research Center at the National Chengchi University. His contributions are in the area of computational approaches to understanding economic and finance problems, in particular, the use of heterogeneous agent-based approach and genetic programming in economics. He is considered one of the pioneers in the field of agent-based computational economics and the first to introduce genetic programming to ACE. He takes a biologically-inspired approach in modeling the boundedly rational behavior of agents and is influenced by the work of Herbert A. Simon.
