The present paper discusses implications for Agent-based Computational Economics (ACE) of a formal definition of emergence introduced by Dessalles, Phan in part I of this work. This exemplification is based on an extension of the model of emergence of classes by Axtell et al. The present paper...

This paper provides a formal definition of emergence, operative in multi-agent framework and which make sense from both a cognitive and an economics point of view. The first part discuses the ontological and epistemic dimension of emergence and provides a complementary set of definitions....

We demonstrate that achieving sensible convergence of prices to equilibrium is facilitated by market maker risk. \\ We introduce several criteria for price formation rules, and provide an example that satisfies all of them. The risk aversion of the market maker inevitably leads to price...

On the basis of a model on time consistent interaction of monetary and fiscal policy, we propose a positive theory of government debt and inflation. The basic take is that the long-term level of public liabilities can be explained as the endogenous outcome of a dynamic game played between two...

In this paper we solve a stochastic dynamic programming problem for the solution to a dynamic game in which the players select a mean level of control. The state transition dynamics are a function of the current state of the system and a multiplicative noise factor on the control variables of...

The central tenet of inflation targeting is the anchoring of inflation expectations. In this paper, we reexamine the role of key elements of the inflation targeting framework towards this end, in the context of an economy where economic agents have an imperfect understanding of the macroeconomic...
