Why are economists sceptical about agent-based simulations?
Despite many years of active research in the field and a number of fruitful applications, agent-based modeling has not yet made it through to the top ranking economic journals. In this paper we investigate why. We look at the following problematic areas: (i) interpretation of the simulation dynamics and generalization of the results, and (ii) estimation of the simulation model. We show that the...
متن کاملWhy economists disregard economic methodology
Economic methodology has been strongly in!uenced by philosophy. Indeed, it can be considered to be a part of philosophy, as the normally used name ‘philosophy of science’ aptly conveys. The scholars engaged in this endeavour often have been educated in philosophy or at least have strong philosophical inclinations.

Multiple virtual machine (VM) workloads are increasingly common, given the growth of managed enterprise application systems and consolidated virtual servers. Until now, there has been no principled approach to partitioning memory resource between multiple co-located VMs. In this paper, we develop a general framework for multi-VM heap sizing, based on the principle of utility maximization from m...
متن کاملWhy are there different types of synesthete?
For people with synesthesia, sensations in two modalities are experienced when only one is stimulated (e.g., auditory stimuli might trigger colors and sounds). Synesthetes are manifestly different to the general population, but can also be different to each other. First, the condition is widely heterogeneous in that 60–150 different manifestations of synesthesia have been identified (e.g., audi...
متن کاملSize matters: why nanomaterials are different.
Gold is known as a shiny, yellow noble metal that does not tarnish, has a face centred cubic structure, is non-magnetic and melts at 1336 K. However, a small sample of the same gold is quite different, providing it is tiny enough: 10 nm particles absorb green light and thus appear red. The melting temperature decreases dramatically as the size goes down. Moreover, gold ceases to be noble, and 2...
