>Can such games model reality well enough to give interesting results?
Interesting to whom? To game players yes. For certain purposes there are useful models
that can help people understand how systems operate and predict outcomes.
>Would economists agree on the meta-rules enough to agree to participate?
Absolutely not. If you can agree on a model you can almost always agree on the policy
prescription. Most disagreements between economists are over what the right model is,
not what policy should be pursued given the model. -- Bill Dickens
