We present an agent-based model (ABM) of a financial market with n 1 risky assets, whose price dynamics result from the interaction between rational fundamentalists and trend following imitative noise traders. The interactions and opinion formation of the noise traders are described by an...

Sensitivity analysis studies how the variation in the numerical output of a model can be quantitatively apportioned to different sources of variation in basic input parameters. Thus, it serves to examine the robustness of numerical results with respect to input parameters, which is a...

This paper strengthens the Hopenhayn-Prescott stability theorem for monotone economies by extending it to a significantly larger class of models. We provid general conditions for existence, uniqueness and stability of stationary distributions. The conditions in our main result are both necessary...

This paper is based on Ille 2013. Both papers analyze the same model, but in contrast, this paper does not provide an analytical solution but rather resorts to simulations. This allows the reader, who is familiar with the former article, to retrace the results more thoroughly and without the...

Contemporary debates about scientific institutions and practice feature many proposed reforms. Most of these require increased efforts from scientists. But how do scientists' incentives for effort interact? How can scientific institutions encourage scientists to invest effort in research? We...

The paper presents a pilot version of spatial agent-based model simulating the national economy of Russia. The model is supposed to be used for evaluation the effects of industrial and spatial policies. The object of modeling is multi-regional economic space of Russia in its interaction with...

This paper discusses which changes in the architecture of a standard CGE model are needed in order to introduce effects of trade and firm heterogeneity à la Melitz. Starting from a simple specification with partial equilibrium, one primary production factor and one industry, the frame-work is...
