Myopic Economic Agents [PDF]

open access: possibleEconometrica, 1981
This paper presents a model of myopic tastes, both in the context of intertemporal decision making and choice under uncertainty. Infinite dimensional consumption plans arise naturally in both contexts, either involving a denumerable number of periods or a countable number of states of the world.

Artificial economic agents

SPIE Proceedings, 1992
Neural networks are able to emulate economic subjects' behavior, without the utilization of a priori economic laws. This work states the possibility of explaining economic regularities about demand curve following connectionist models. Targets for training are generated by the model itself while it learns and acts with a cross-target method, i.e., the ...

Agent-Based Keynesian Economics

1997
In this paper Agent-based methods are adopted as a way of combining macroeconomics and microeconomics without founding one on the other. This leaves an opening for reconsideration of Keynesian macroeconomics, a reconsideration which results in a simulation model where money and finance plays a vital role.

Anna Ott, Economic Agent

2020
The Wisconsin State Hospital for the Insane was a significant economic enterprise whose daily workings generated immense income for the local community. Even while an asylum inmate, Ott remained a consumer of local businesses. The economies inside the asylum were highly tied to and interwoven with economic systems outside of the asylum.

Agent-Based Computational Economics

2009
Agent-based simulation A simulation of a system of multiple interacting agents (sometimes also known as “microscopic simulation”). The “micro” rules governing the actions of the agents are known, and so are their rules of interaction. Starting with some initial conditions, the dynamics of the system are investigated by simulating the state of the ...

Agent Based Economics

1998
This chapter describes the application of artificial life techniques (ALIFE) to the study of auction markets for electric power optimization. Artificial life techniques include: artificial neural networks (ANN), genetic algorithms (GA) and genetic programming (GP).

Agent‐based modeling in ecological economics

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2010
Interconnected social and environmental systems are the domain of ecological economics, and models can be used to explore feedbacks and adaptations inherent in these systems. Agent‐based modeling (ABM) represents autonomous entities, each with dynamic behavior and heterogeneous characteristics.

Children as Economic Agents

Feminist Economics, 2000
A generational perspective recognizes that children have preferences which may differ systematically from those of adults, and, furthermore, that a children's standpoint should be recognized by scholars and activists and incorporated into policy targeted at children and their families.

Agents, equations, and economics

2021
Critiques of Neoclassical Economics extend, unsurprisingly, to its mathematical structure. The discussion has largely focused on General Equilibrium Theory (GET), a formalism developed by Léon Walras over a century ago. Internally consistent, but highly unrealistic, GET lacks predictive power, and has been a historical failure.
