From the reviews: "On May 29th - 31st, 2003, the annual Workshop on Economics with Heterogeneous Interacting Agents, was held in Kiel, Germany. The book under review collects selected papers presented at this workshop. Within five chapters a wide range of various research activities are covered. ... The book under review provides a comprehensive collection of articles on nonlinear dynamics. Advanced researchers will find up to date studies especially on financial econometrics. Many presented concepts of interaction and learning may be applied to other social sciences as well." (Karsten Webel, Statistical Papers, Vol. 46 (4), 2005)
