Hi I am a PhD candidate enrolled in DBA program at GEM Frnace. My topic of interest is in agent based computational economics (ACE) and especially it is about modelling of testable propositions in divine knowledge (Quran, Bible, Gosple etc.) and studying their impact on welath distribution. There are plenty of web resources but I find difficulty finding some suitable co supervisor who can advise me on this. I have been exploring Tesfatsion’s website which is really an ocean for all ABM […]
