About this series:
Modern economic societies are characterised by a thread of interactions among agents, underlying both processes of change and coordination, and often displaying emergent statistical invariances and organizational forms. In order to deal with such worlds characterised by persistent heterogeneities, mechanisms of cumulative causation, non-linearities and path-dependencies, the lenses of complexity and agent-based models appear to be the most apt.
From micro phenomena (concerning e.g., behaviours, market networks, organizational forms) to macro phenomena (e.g., properties of the evolution of technologies, industries and countries; growth, fluctuations and crises; unemployment; income distribution) the complexity approach has proved to be a powerful theoretical tool to study and interpret the law of motions characterising the capitalist mode of production, consumption and distribution.
The series will comprise monographs by scholars who have contributed to the foundation, development and refinement of complexity theories and agent-based models.

Contact the editors:
Giovanni Dosi is Professor of Economics at Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies, Pisa, Italy, and continental Europe editor of the journal Industrial and Corporate Change. He is included in the ISI Highly Cited Research list, denoting those who made fundamental contributions to the advancement of science and technology, and is a corresponding member of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, the first academy of sciences in Italy. In 2016, he received the Wiley TIM Distinguished Scholar Award by the Technology and Innovation Management Division of the American Academy of Management. His major research areas - where he is author and editor of several works - include Economics of Innovation and Technological Change, Industrial Economics, Evolutionary Theory, Economic Growth and Development, Organizational Studies.
Mauro Gallegati is full Professor of Advanced Economics at the Polytechnical University of the Marche, Ancona, Italy. His research concerns interdisciplinary applications of complex systems with heterogeneous interacting agents and econophysics. He is one of the pioneers of agent-based models and economic complexity. He published several papers and books. His methods of asymmetric information settings are widely used by academicians. His research interests range from ABM economics to economic history, to mathematics, to complexity and networks.
Simone Landini is Senior Researcher at the Socioeconomic Research Institute of Piedmont (IRES Piemonte), Turin, Italy. He holds a PhD in Mathematics for the Analysis of Financial Markets, had been awarded the INET Grant and had been a Visiting Fellow in the University of Technology of Sydney. His research interests include applied mathematics and quantitative methods for economics, finance, regional and social sciences, agent-based modelling and computability theory. He published articles in international peer-reviewed journals including Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, International Journal of Business and Management, Structural Change and Economic Dynamics, Journal of Evolutionary Economics, Journal of Economic Interaction and Coordination, Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation, The European Physical Journal Special-Topics, Mathematics and Computers in Simulation, Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, Central European Journal of Operations Research, International Journal of Computational Economics and Econometrics, Computational Economics, Advances in Complex Systems. For Cambridge University Press he co-authored the book ‘Interactive Macroeconomics’.
Maria Enrica Virgillito is Associate Professor in Economics at the Institute of Economics, Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies, Pisa, Italy. Her research interests range from technological change, industrial dynamics, labour market organization and institutions, macroeconomic dynamics, agent-based modelling, technology and labour relations to evolutionary economics. Her research outputs have been published in international peer-reviewed journals, including Industrial and Corporate Change, Journal of Economic Behaviour and Organization, Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, Journal of Evolutionary Economics, Journal of Economic Interaction and Coordination, Journal of Economic Surveys, Socio-economic Review, Structural Change and Economic Dynamics. She is actively engaged in EU H2020 projects and acts as Associate Editor for Structural Change and Economic Dynamics.
