In the paper, we simulate a heterogeneous-agent version of the wage-posting model as derived by Montgomery (1991) with homogeneous workers and differently-productive employers. Wage policy of particular employer is positively correlated with employer’s productivity level and the wage policy of...

In the paper we test a homogenous agent version of the Montgomery's (1991) non-cooperative wage posting model. The inclusion of intrinsic costs, related to the uncertainty when changing the alternative agents are already using, alters the outcome of the model in two respects: firstly, it...

The model of social network is used to analyze the impact of the power of labor unions in the labor relations. We find that labor union capable to affect a pecuniary compensation of shirking employees lessens the motivation of employees to work and improve to the unionization rate. As a result,...

We propose a network-based model of credit contagion and examine the e�ects of idiosyncratic and systemic shocks to individual banks and the banking system. The banking system is built as a network in which banks are connected to each other through the interbank market. The microstructure...

Paper deals with a simulation of job-search models using simulated annealing (SA). It is standard to test Burdett-Mortensen on-the-job search model which gives a unique solution. Unfortunately, its later generalizations especially incorporation of heterogeneous agents has overcome this unique...

Paper approximates long run implications of different tax schedules, i.e. using Chebyshev collocation. Model argues in favor of flat taxes and operates within an Arrow - Debreu environment. We approximate steady state Euler equations of an infinitely-lived-representative-agent exogenous growth...

The article examines the stability of the steady state in a perfect foresight model of technological change using perturbation methods. In the models of technological change analyses were generally restricted to find a steady state but they lack to test for its stability. Perturbation methods...

We simulate social network games of a portfolio selection to analyze how knowledge, preferences of agents and their level of omniscience affect their decision-making. The key feature of the paper is that preferences and the level of omniscience of agents very much determine the ways agents make...

A social network has been used to simulate how agents of different levels of risk aversion under different circumstances behave in financial markets when deciding between risk-free and a risky asset. This is done by a discrete time version evolutionary game of risk-loving and risk-averse agents....

In the paper, I simulate the games with a joint presence of 95% VaR-rule and return-rule groups of agents in the game. Simulations highlighted the level of omniscience, next being the rule, which agents follow at the decision-making, and the third the presence of liquidity agents in the game....
