http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32764051

This collection contains a curriculum vita, a biographical sketch, and published articles. The vita is dated May 1995 and the biographical sketch was written by Tesfatsion for a Committee on the Status of Women in the Economics Profession (CSWEP) publication. The publications date from 1979 through 1995. Her earlier work contains research on decision making and the economic relationships between society and government programs. Of special interest is her later research and work on the iterated prisoner's dilemma and artificial life (also known as alife). "Alife" is defined by Tesfatsion as "the bottom up study of basic phenomena commonly associated with living agents, such as self-replication, evolution, adaptation, self organization, parasitism, competition, and cooperation." (1995).
