Introducing a new job contract into the Labor Market: An agent-based computational approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose to implement and simulate an economic model that studies the potential effects of the introduction of a new type of a job contract into the French labor market. This transition from a classical economic model to an agent-based simulation allows us to reproduce the same tendencies found in the former one and to observe a new dimension that emerges from the agent-based simulation: an increase of oscillations for the characteristic rates revealing an increase of precariousness (job instability) due to the new type of contract.

A Multi-Agent System to Model the Labor Market: Simulating a New Job Contract Introduction
The aim of this work is to design a Multi-Agent System (MAS) simulation to model the French labor market. We departed from an economic model proposed by Cahuc and Carcillo to model the introduction of a new job contract into the labor market. We designed a specific methodology to convert this equation-based model to an agentbased model, and calibrated our MAS to reproduce the data found in the ...

متن کاملConcentration, Capacity, and Market Power in an Evolutionary Labor Market
This paper reports on an experimental study of the relationship between job capacity, job concentration, and market power in the context of an agent-based computational model of a labor market. Job capacity is measured by the ratio of potential job openings to potential work offers, and job concentration is measured by the ratio of work suppliers to employers. For each experimental treatment, w...
متن کاملAgent-Based Evolutionary Labor Market Model with Strategic Coalition
A real-world labor market has complex worksite interactions between a worker and an employer. This paper investigates the behavior patterns of workers and employers with a job capacity and a job concentration empirically considering a strategic coalition in an agent-based computational labor market. Here, the strategic coalition can be formed autonomously among workers and/or among employers. F...
متن کاملEx Ante Capacity Eeects in Evolutionary Labor Markets with Adaptive Search 1
This study reports on computational experiments for an agent-based labor market model with adaptive choice and refusal of worksite partners and with endogenously evolving worksite behaviors. Two treatment factors are experimentally varied: market structure; and ex ante capacity constraints on potential work ooers and job openings. Particular attention is focused on experimentally determined cor...
