This paper develops a method to compute second-order perturbations of discretetime heterogeneous agent models. It addresses the three main tasks to make secondorder approximations tractable: state reduction, generating sufficient smoothness, and fast computation of the quadratic terms in the...

Linking decision systems, negotiating agents, management accounting, and computational accounting, this paper aims at exploring dynamic pricing strategies of a synthetic business-to-consumer online operation and a comparative analysis of evolving strategy-specific pricing optimization. Five...

Drawing on the labour-augmented K+S agent-based model, this paper develops a two-country North-South ABM wherein the leader and the laggard country interact through the international trade of capital goods. The model aims to address sources of asymmetries and possible converge patterns between...

We develop a generally applicable full‐information inference method for heterogeneous agent models, combining aggregate time series data and repeated cross‐sections of micro data. To handle unobserved aggregate state variables that affect cross‐sectional distributions, we compute a...

This study analyzes small-sized asset owners' optimal choice problems in selecting an outsourced chief investment officer (OCIO). While large-sized asset owners can select OCIOs through procurement auctions, it is difficult for small-sized asset owners to use this method. Instead, they access...
