In the context of an economic multi-agent model (AS1), Haber shows, for example, that active learning with genetic algorithms in the context of endogenous expectation formation under imperfect information despite limited rationality can lead to an improved approximation of the economic policy objective function, whereby the complexity of the expectation formation mechanisms of is of minor importance.
