We simulate interbank lending. Each bank faces fluctuations in deposits and stochastic investment opportunities which mature with delay. This creates the risk of liquidity shortages. An interbank market lets participants pool this risk but also creates the potential for one bank's crisis to...

In the last years, many contributions have been exploring population learning in economies where myopic agents play bilateral games and are allowed to repeatedly choose their pure strategies in the game and, possibly, their opponents in the game. These models explore bilateral stage-games...

In this paper we investigate the closed-economy Keynes-Wicksell-Goodwin model of Chiarella and Flaschel (2000) for the case of two interacting open economies. We introduce these coupled two-country KWG dynamics on the extensive form level by means of a subdivision into nine modules describing...

This contribution is devoted to the dynamics of an extended Kaldor model. Attention is focused primarily on an influence of the inflation rate on the limiting behavior, stability and robustness of the model. Both the analytical approach and computer modelling are discussed. Two illustrative...

To address how systems of computational agents, working alone, in teams, or with humans, can cooperate to solve problems and advance technology more autonomously than the current generation of remotely controlled unmanned systems, it is increasingly clear that a revolution in computing...

We explore the evolution of the structure and performance of a social network in a population of individuals who search for local optima in diverse and dynamic task environments. Individuals choose whether to innovate or imitate and, in the latter case, from whom to learn. The probabilities of...

Investment decision-making is modeled by means of a Kohonen neural net, whose neurons represent firms as decision-makers. Thus, the network reconstructs collective decision-making by the productive system. This model focuses on the decision to invest in novel fields of activity, which requires...

This work focuses on a method to characterize stochastic processes by way of their scaling function tau(·). The kernel idea is that, notwithstanding the properties of the stochastic generating process of raw data, a minimum set of conditions is required to provide empirical estimation of the...

Central banks frequently intervene in foreign exchange markets to reduce volatility or to correct misalignments. Such operations may be successful if they drive away destabilizing speculators. However, the speculators do not simply vanish but may reappear on other foreign exchange markets. Using...

This paper aims at suggesting a simple prototype model that describes the complex dynamics of a sophisticated monetary economy. The interaction between the current and intertemporal financial constraints of economic units brings about irregular fluctuations at the micro and macro levels. By...
