Fenomeni Complessi: una Prospettiva Economica at IUSS
The course is designed to serve as a primer to the study of the economy as a Complex Adaptive System composed of hetereogeneous boundedly rational interacting agents.
Teaching materials will be uploaded soon.

AB-SFC modules
The folder contains the materials employed at the EAEPE 2018 Pre-Conference in Nice for the "Agent Based-Stock flow Consistent Macro modeling" course. The lectures were sub-divided into an introductory theoretical part, discussing limitations of modern macro and the strengths and weaknesses of AB-SFC modeling, and a laboratory part. In the lab we started developing an AB version of the SIM-EX model presented in Godley and Lavoie (2007), highlighting the logical steps required before moving to coding. After comparing the aggregate and AB versions of the model, we progressively added new blocks (e.g. markup pricing, labor and good market search and matching, inside and outside money). The last version of the model, with variable markups, decentralized matching, legal and bank money, presented a quite sophisticated economy which can be employed as a starting point to develop your own models.
More specifically, in the folder you will find:
An introduction to AB and SFC modeling, with hints on alternative programming paradigms (theoretical part)
The outline of the experiments performed in the laboratory using R.
All the codes employed in the laboratory.
Economics with Heterogeneous Interacting Agents
The folder contains the scripts presented in the didactic book “Economics with Heterogeneous Interacting Agents: a Practical Guide to Agent Based Modelling.” (Caiani. A., Russo, A., Palestrini, A. and Gallegati, M.), 10/2016, Springer International Publishing Switzerland.
