We consider simple semi-analytic models that relate the active galactic nuclei (AGN) evolution to the merging history of their host dark matter haloes and quantify their ability of matching the AGN luminosity function and its spatial clustering at low and intermediate redshifts. In particular, we focus on the recent determinations of the AGN luminosity function in the hard X-ray band at z~0 which constitutes the most stringent observational test for our models. Indeed, while we find an acceptable agreement between the model bolometric luminosity function and the data at 1
