Clinically available antifungal drugs have therapeutic limitations due to toxicity, narrow spectrum of activity, and intrinsic or acquired drug resistance. Thus, there is an urgent need for new broad-spectrum antifungal agents with low toxicity and a novel mechanism of action. In this context,...

According to the EU's organic regulation, the use of organic seed is generally binding in organic farming. Because of an organic seed shortage, derogations to use nonorganic seed can be obtained. By 2036, the EU plans to phase out these derogations and achieve 100% organic seed use. Previous...

We develop an agent-based model for the euro area that fulfils widely recommended requirements for nextgeneration macroeconomic models by i) incorporating financial frictions, ii) relaxing the requirement of rational expectations, and iii) including heterogeneous agents. Using macroeconomic and...

In this paper we replicate most of the stylized facts characterizing the decline in business dynamism in the USA highlighted by Akcigit and Ates (2021) and provide an explanation of their emergence by means of a macroeconomic agent-based model populated by two types of firms: innovators who...

We use an analytically tractable heterogeneous‐agent (HANK) version of the standard New Keynesian model to show how the size of fiscal multipliers depends on (i) the distribution of factor incomes, and (ii) the source of nominal rigidities. With sticky prices but flexible wages, the standard...

This study develops simulation scenarios to understand the impact of green innovation policies on carbon emissions and output in an oligopolistic manufacturing industry. We introduce an agent-based model of endogenous innovation in technologies with heterogeneous production costs and carbon...
