  1. 1. Are Distributional Variables Useful for Forecasting With the Phillips Curve?

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

    Author : Elsa Rosengren; Pippa Johns; [2024]
    Keywords : Distributional Variables; Heterogeneous Agents; Inflation; Phillips Curve; Inequality;

    Abstract : Does information on the distribution of wealth and income help us forecast aggregate macroeconomic variables? In this thesis, we study how adding such distributional variables to a standard forecasting model affects the forecast accuracy, in the context of inflation forecasting. Using the simulated inflation forecasting approach of Atkeson and Ohanian (2001), we perform a horse race between a textbook NAIRU Phillips curve to an extension augmented with variables from the wealth and income distributions.

  3. 2. The User Needs Of Agent-Based Modelling Experts : What Information Architecture reveals about ABM frameworks

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för teknik och samhälle (TS)

    Author : Bertilla Fabris; [2023]
    Keywords : Agent-based Modelling; ABM; Usability; Information Architecture; Computer and Information Science; ABSS; Agent-based Social Simulation; Agent Based Modelling; Agent-Based Modeling; Agent Based Modeling;

    Abstract : Present-day Agent Based Modelling is used to simulate complex systems in which agents are explicitly heterogeneous. Researchers within the field of ABM have a set of tools at their disposal, yet little is known about the usability and learnability of these systems. READ MORE

  4. 3. Carrots, Sticks, and Other Tricks: Understanding the effectiveness and robustness of social mechanisms for encouraging cooperation in a complex adaptive system

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

    Author : Thomas Atherton; Andreas Bergström; [2022]
    Keywords : Agent-based modelling; Behavioural; Complexity; Cooperation; Evolutionary;

    Abstract : Cooperation is critical for success in many economic interactions, but social dilemmas between the best outcomes for society and for individual decision-makers often arise. This thesis adds to existing game-theoretic and behavioural studies by evaluating cooperation in the public goods game (a canonical social dilemma) in a more complex, realistic system. READ MORE

    Author : Adam J:son Lindh; Wilmer Niva Printz; [2021]
    Keywords : COVID-19; infinitely lived agents; heterogeneous agents; inequality;

    Abstract : We construct a heterogeneous agent model exploring the intersection of economic behavior and epidemiological risk during a pandemic. The model combines realistic infection dynamics with an economic block where utility maximizing agents shift behavior to avoid infection risk. READ MORE
