Agent-Based Macroeconomic Modeling and Policy Analysis: The Eurace@Unibi Model
Agent-based simulation models are a relatively new addition to the tool-box of macroeconomists. In this chapter we introduce the Eurace@Unibi model and the research that has been done within this framework. We show how an agent-based model can be used to identify economic mechanisms and how it can be applied to spatial policy analysis. Our assessment is that agent-based models in economics have...
متن کاملA Heterogeneous Agent Macroeconomic Model for Policy Evaluation: Improving Transparency and Reproducibility
This paper provides a detailed description of the Eurace@Unibi model, which has been developed as a versatile tool for economic policy analysis. The model explicitly incorporates the decentralized interaction of heterogeneous agents across different sectors and regions. The modeling of individual behavior is based on heuristics with empirical microfoundations. Although Eurace@Unibi has been app...
متن کاملSpatial interactions in agent-based modeling
Agent Based Modeling (ABM) has become a widespread approach to model complex interactions. In this chapter after briefly summarizing some features of ABM the different approaches in modeling spatial interactions are discussed. It is stressed that agents can interact either indirectly through a shared environment and/or directly with each other. In such an approach, higherorder variables such as...
متن کاملCohesion Policy and Inequality Dynamics: Insights from a Heterogeneous Agents Macroeconomic Model
Regions within the European Union differ substantially not only with respect to per capita GDP, but also with respect to income inequality within the regions. This paper studies the effects of different types of technology-oriented cohesion policies, aiming at the reduction of regional differences, on the convergence of regions and the dynamics of income inequality within regions. In particular...
