Increasing Inequality and Financial Fragility in an An Agent Based Macroeconomic Model

چکیده
The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between increasing inequality and financial fragility in an agent based macroeconomic model. We analyse the effects of a non-linear relationship between wealth and consumption on the evolution of the economic system. Preliminary results show that more inequality rises macroeconomic volatility, increasing the likelihood of observing large unemployment crises.

متن کاملReconstructing Aggregate Dynamics in Heterogeneous Agents Models a Markovian Approach1
The restrictive assumptions imposed by the traditional methods of aggregation prevented so far a sound analysis of complex system of feedback between microeconomic variables and macroeconomic outcomes.
