[Roger Critchlow-2]

Today's issue of Nature has:
an editorial, http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v460/n7256/full/460667a.html, calling for more development of agent based economic models;
an opinion piece by J Doyne Farmer and Duncan Foley, http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v460/n7256/full/460685a.html, calling for economic policies informed by agent based economic models;
an opinion piece by Josh Epstein, http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v460/n7256/full/460687a.html, about modelling pandemics;
and a news article, http://www.nature.com/news/2009/090805/full/460680a.html, asking if agent based models could prevent another economic meltdown.
