Chapter 25 Agent-based Models of Innovation and Technological Change
Dawid, Herbert - In: Handbook of computational economics : volume 2, …, (pp. 1235-1272). 2006
This chapter discusses the potential of the agent-based computational economics approach for the analysis of processes of innovation and technological change. It is argued that, on the one hand, several genuine properties of innovation processes make the possibilities offered by agent-based...

Analyzing the Dynamics of the Population of Spain with Matrix Models/Un análisis de la dinámica de la población de España mediante modelos matriciales
LÓPEZ TORRES, IGNACIO; ORTUÑO PÉREZ, SIGFREDO; … - In: Estudios de Economía Aplicada 32 (2014) Enero, pp. 399-426
This study presents single-sex and two-sex matrix models to describe accurately the dynamics and to analyze the long-term behavior of human populations, using the case of Spain as example. The long term dynamics analysis of the population of Spain estimates a slight increase in the total...

MATCHING WITH COUPLES: A MULTIDISCIPLINARY SURVEY
BIRÓ, PÉTER; KLIJN, FLIP - In: International Game Theory Review (IGTR) 15 (2013) 02, pp. 1340008-1
This survey deals with two-sided matching markets where one set of agents (workers/residents) has to be matched with another set of agents (firms/hospitals). We first give a short overview of a selection of classical results. Then, we review recent contributions to a complex and representative...

Complete Versus Partial Collusion in Competing Coalitions
Palsule-Desai, Omkar D. - In: International Game Theory Review (IGTR) 17 (2015) 01, pp. 1540006-1
producers adopt one of the two alternate production and marketing technologies — efficient and inefficient. We examine stability … equilibrium coalition forms, and (iii) stability of coalitions. They highlight the dynamics between the number of coalition …, and the coalition stability related conditions need not imply better profitability for one type of producer vis-à-vis the …

DYNAMIC SELECTION IN NORMAL-FORM GAMES
MEERTENS, MARC; POTTERS, JOS; REIJNIERSE, HANS - In: International Game Theory Review (IGTR) 08 (2006) 03, pp. 395-416
This paper investigates a class of dynamic selection processes for n-person normal-form games which includes the Brown-von Neumann-Nash dynamics. For (two-person) zero-sum games and for (n-person) potential games every limit set of these dynamics is a subset of the set of Nash-equilibria....

HAJDUKOVÁ, JANA - In: International Game Theory Review (IGTR) 08 (2006) 04, pp. 613-641
quality of a coalition structure is evaluated according to its stability. We review various definitions of stability and … restrictions of preferences ensuring the existence of a partition stable with respect to a particular stability definition. Further …

THE AUMANN-DRÈZE VALUE, THE WIESE VALUE, AND STABILITY: A NOTE
TUTIC, ANDREAS - In: International Game Theory Review (IGTR) 12 (2010) 02, pp. 189-195
In this note we present an example of a TU game where both the value presented by Aumann and Drèze (1974) and the value introduced by Wiese (2007) do not exhibit a stable coalition structure.

EMPLOYMENT BY LOTTO REVISITED
KLAUS, BETTINA; KLIJN, FLIP - In: International Game Theory Review (IGTR) 11 (2009) 02, pp. 181-198
We study employment by lotto (Aldershof et al., 1999), a procedurally fair matching algorithm for the so-called stable marriage problem. We complement Aldershof et al.'s (1999) analysis in two ways. First, we give an alternative and intuitive description of employment by lotto in terms of a...
