Multiagent systems combine multiple autonomous entities, each having diverging interests or different information. This overview of the field offers a computer science perspective, but also draws on ideas from game theory, economics, operations research, logic, philosophy and linguistics. It will serve as a reference for researchers in each of these fields, and be used as a text for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses. The authors emphasize foundations to create a broad and rigorous treatment of their subject, with thorough presentations of distributed problem solving, game theory, mult

For those interested in the intersection of computer science and economics, I highly recommend the freely available Multiagent Systems: Algorithmic, Game-Theoretic, and Logical Foundations by Yoav Shoham and Kevin Leyton-Brown [1]. [1] http://www.masfoundations.org/mas.pdf
on “Complexity Theory, Game Theory, and Economics” ↗…another comment, there is * Oz Shy, The Economics of Network Industries. If you are interested in research at the interface of economics and theoretical computer science you have: * Shoham, Leyton-Brown. Multiagent Systems. * Nisan, Roughgarden, Tardos, Vazirani. Algorithmic Game Theory. * Cramton, Shoham, Steinberg, Smith. Combinatorial Auctions. For the traditional economic theory of asymmetric information among economic…
on “Ask HN: Good books on Information Economics?” ↗Ooof. There's a whole lot of research related to multiagent Systems and Epistemic Logic (and plenty of other logics) from when the "original" MultiAgent Systems where studied. Im very familiar with van der Hoek and Wooldridge work (vd Hoek was one of my PhD supervisors).…
