The paper presents a survey of Post Keynesian (PK) agent‐based (AB) models and AB models with PK features. It is argued that AB modeling is fully consistent with the PK approach and that the cross‐fertilization can benefit both areas of research. The survey focuses on how the various models have faced the issues implied by adopting a bottom–up approach in a traditionally aggregative structure and highlights the additional insights coming from this modeling strategy. Particular attention is devoted to stock‐flow consistent AB models for theivvr potential in defining a new benchmark for this type of research.
