We study how income inequality affects monetary policy through the inequality-household debt channel. We design a minimal macro Agent-Based model that replicates several stylized facts, including two novel ones: falling aggregate saving rate and decreasing bankruptcies during the household's...

This study investigates the functioning of modern payment systems through the lens of banks‘ maturity mismatch practices, and it examines the effects of banks‘ refusal to roll over short-term interbank liabilities on financial stability. Within an agent-based stock-flow consistent framework,...

The continuous double auction (CDA) is a well-studied, widely used institution for trading. But there is no generally accepted theory about the dynamics of price formation within the first period that has survived experimental testing. In this paper, we describe a model of behavior (called...

this study investigates the design of incentive compensation and agents’ behaviors in product innovation. We develop a dynamic control model in which product quality improvement depends on both instantaneous investment and manager’s innovative effort. Moreover, we consider the sensitivity of...

This study examines the potential impact of a hypothetical but plausible migration scenario on Austria’s economy and labour market, inspired by Austria’s experience in 2015. Using the agent-based macroeconomic model developed by Poledna et al. (2023), the study explores the detailed labour...

The creation and licensing of patents is a dynamic process in which the impact of law cannot be understated. While agent-based modeling has been used to simulate the diffusion of innovations and the effects of patents on innovations, it has not yet been applied to simulate the effects of law on...

In this work, we ask whether tradable emissions permits, based on the cap-and-trade principle, provide better climate change and economic projections than alternative regulations for GHG emissions, such as operational permits which are commonly used to mitigate non-GHG emissions (prevention...
