        @gabriel_mathy @dclingi I don't know for the US, but at least in Europe, the newer generations working with ABM seem much less "heterodox" than the previous ones. They (we?) don't want to break mainstream economics, but to provide tools to overcome some limits of equation based models.

      @gabriel_mathy @dclingi That being said, the somewhat overrepresentation of heterodox economists using the methodology is probably a good explanation of why those models didn't got traction (in academia at least).

    @gabriel_mathy @dclingi I'm only speaking for myself, but I do not see myself as a heterodox, I follow the usual assumptions and tools of economics, and I have no intention to "break" regular econ (even though it may happen if ABM got traction, but it would be a consequence, not a goal).
