OFFPRINT Technological innovation, business cycles and self-organized criticality in market economies
In the market economies, sustained output growth is always accompanied by persistent fluctuations. Whether the fluctuations are caused by external shocks or deterministic forces has been a controversial issue in economics, with the dominant mainstream paradigm favouring the former. Here we examine the hypothesis that an important determinant of periods and sizes of expansion and recession is th...
متن کاملAggregation in agent-based models of economies
Agent based models are often described as bottom-up. Macro level phenomena emerge from the micro level interactions of agents. These macro level phenomena include fixed points, dynamic patterns, and long transients. In this paper, I explore the link between micro level characteristics – learning rules, diversity, network structure, and externalities – and the macro level patterns they produce. ...
متن کاملAgent-Based Computational Economics: Growing Economies From the Bottom Up
Agent-based computational economics (ACE) is the computational study of economies modeled as evolving systems of autonomous interacting agents. Thus, ACE is a specialization of economics of the basic complex adaptive systems paradigm. This study outlines the main objectives and defining characteristics of the ACE methodology and discusses similarities and distinctions between ACE and artificial...
متن کاملInnovation , Technological Interdependence , and Economic Growth ̊ Douglas
There is substantial heterogeneity across industries in the level of interdependence between new and old technologies. I propose a measure of this interdependence–an index of sequentiality in innovation–which is the transfer rate of patents in a particular industry. I find that highly sequential industries have higher profitability, higher variance of firm growth, lower exit rates, and lower ra...
متن کاملEndogenous Technological Progress and Spatial Interdependence
This paper explores growth models for regions or countries which are highly interdependent, but which may differ in initial factor endowments and technology. The regions interact through trade, factor mobility and the diffusion of innovations. The implications of traditional and recent growth theories for an explicit two-region situation are identified and the properties of the growth process a...
