This paper presents a novel approach to gain a deeper understanding of the forces driving sustainability transitions in food production and consumption. It follows a complex adaptive systems approach to study processes leading to sociotechnical innovations on a timescale of typically a decade....

We propose an agent-based macroeconomic model (ABM) inspired by the New Keynesian general equilibrium model (NKM, Woodford 2003). We analyse the aggregate economic dynamics resulting from social learning of agents (households and firms). Households’ labour supply and consumption demand, as...

Modelling urban land use change can foster understanding of underlying processes and is increasingly realized using agent-based models (ABM) as they allow for explicitly coding land management decisions. However, urban land use change is the result of interactions of a variety of individuals as...

Agent-based economic modelling techniques are increasingly being used to complement standard economic simulations. This paper re-models a standard equation-based simulation model of the Russian macroeconomy in an agent-based setup, and uses it to investigate the effect that antimonopoly...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explain the emergence of collaboration networks in entrepreneurial clusters as determined by the way entrepreneurs exchange knowledge and learn through business transactions needed to implement temporary supply chains in networks of co-located firms....

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to suggest a bibliometric method for designing agent-based models (ABMs) in entrepreneurship research. The application of this method is illustrated with an exemplary agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) regarding the early venture growth process. This...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to highlight the ontological implications of combining network and system ontology to conceptualize industrial networks as the empirical manifestations of complex adaptive economic systems. Design/methodology/approach This paper contributes with a systematic...
