Agent-based Simulation for Research in Economics
نویسنده
چکیده
Agent-based simulations have produced a variety of interesting contributions to economic research in the past years. Nevertheless, the methodology of economic simulations in general and agent-based simulations in particular is still in question. This is due to the fact that simulations are conducted without considering the underlying theory and links to standard economic approaches. This paper discusses the use of simulations in economics and reviews the four most common agent-based approaches and their link to economic theory.

In knowledge-based economy, knowledge has a public good and non-rivalry nature. Firms build their own knowledge stock not only by means of internal R&D and collaboration with partners, but also by means of previously spilled over knowledge of other firms and public research laboratories (such as universities). Firms based on their absorptive capacity, and level of intra-industry and extra-indus...
متن کاملOn Multi-Agent Based Simulation
Agent-Based Computational Economics (ACE) and Agent Based Simulation (ABS) are two relatively young fields of research that lie on the boundary of social science, computer science and the cognitive sciences (AI and cognitive psychology). Originally these fields find their origin in computational physics, where multi-agent systems (MAS) are used to study models with heterogeneous agent populatio...
متن کاملAn Agent- based Modeling for Breast Tissue Simulation and the Growth and Spread of Tumor in Various Breast Cancer States
Introduction: Breast cancer is a cancer that is caused by abnormal growth of breast cells. Modeling and simulation of the growth and treatment of breast cancer, along with providing the possibility of doing experiments and research, can reduce the time and cost of treatment by predicting some cases. The purpose of the present research was to develop an agent-based model for the simulation of b...

متن کاملManagement decision support using long-term market simulation
In recent years Agent-based Computational Economics (ACE) has become an increasingly important method in market simulation. After liberalization of many former governmental owned or controlled industries the used operations research models are not longer sufficient to simulate market behavior due to individual action and increasing competition. Agentbased simulation appears to be an alternative...
