Energy efficiency policies in an agent-based macroeconomic model
Amendola, Marco; Lamperti, Francesco; Roventini, Andrea; … - 2023
Improvements in energy efficiency can help facing the on-going climate and energy crises, yet the energy intensity of economic activities at the global level in recent years has decreased more slowly than it is required to achieve climate goals. Based on this premise, the paper builds a...

The creation and diffusion of knowledge - an agent based modelling approach
De Albuquerque, Emmanuel P. - 2021
In this paper I propose a novel abstract mechanism for the creation and diffusion of knowledge and use an agent based modelling approach to explore it. The mechanism takes into account the relation between the phenomena that agents attempt to explain and the stocks of knowledge available in a...
