In this paper, we examine an agent-based model and an equation-based model in the form of a mean field model. We show how the mean field model is a small, fast model that identifies the high level properties of a subject, in this case financial time series’ stylized facts. The agent based...

This paper extends the existing literature on strategic R&D alliances by presenting a model of innovation networks with endogenous absorptive capacity. The networks emerge as a result of bilateral cooperation over time between firms occupying different locations in the knowledge space. Social...

This research aims to investigate, through simulation models, how the interaction among agents in an artificial stock market can affect the dynamics of asset prices. Thus, the study follows a different methodology for the analysis of prices by exploring the simulation of agents' behavior in an...

A new algorithm for calibrating agent-based models is proposed, which employs a popular gradient boosting framework. Machine learning techniques are not used to develop a surrogate model, but rather assist in narrowing down the parameter space during the search for optimal parameters. Our...

We use minority game model to investigate evolutionary dynamics in complex networks of adaptive agents competing for limited resources. We show that the dynamics and the associated phase structures critically depend on the underlying network organizations, and evolution is a key mechanism for...

In order to verify the effects of machine learning in a market structure, an evolutionary model containing firms that use a genetic algorithm to decide their investment in innovative R&D was developed. These firms share the market, with two other types of firms, those with a fixed rate of...

In this paper, we first briefly review the recent literature on climate change, resource scarcity and conflict. This is then followed by introducing an agent based computational model based on the theory of production and conflict which is capable of simulating the dynamics of micro-level...

We are interested in how the relationship between the fee in a constant product market (CPM) and the volatility of the swapped pair on other liquid exchanges influences the losses / gains of the liquidity providers. We review three classical market making models: Glosten and Milgrom, Kyle and...

We propose a distributed randomized policy iteration algorithm for infinite horizon dynamic programming problems for which the control at each stage is m-dimensional. The traditional policy iteration algorithm involves performing a minimization over an m-dimensional constraint set and has a...
